This post from K. Scott Allen deserves merit on its own for what he’s trying to accomplish, but I’m reposting largely just so I can reproduce the following sentence:
“Although this code was intentionally obfuscated, it's not unlike walking into the code for a complex domain the first time and not understanding why a wurgled customer can blargsmack on Tuesdays if they hold a vorkenhosen status. All domains are nonsense at the start.”
Brilliant.
