I am not voting this thing up or down, but what's with the whole idea that people must love you? Normally you go to a coding shop and you told: these are our standards - do it this way and you are fine. Love is overrated anyways.
Well I was thinking more of a OSS or small team startup environment.
I admit that the headline does involve some creative sensationalization on my part but my point is that readable code makes for easier read and easier debug session and everyone should try to give that kind respect to their fellow coders/colleague.
