Elegance in Programming

Ask yourself, is it Elegant?   Is it a thing of beauty?

If this is some important piece of code that others will be using then it should be written well.

I read once in an old programming book, “Born to Code in C”, that first you need to make it work, then make it beautiful.   I code by this rule.   So often I find folks don’t spend enough time on the second part.
