Beautiful Code
Beautiful code is the balanced application of Proportion, Integrity, and Clarity.
Proportion
/\
/ \ [ each are necessary ]
/ \ [ none are sufficient ]
/______\
Integrity Clarity
Proportion: The smallest size needed to do the job. Economy of size and the ratio of pairs.
Integrity: Being well-suited for an intended purpose.
Clarity: Simple, understandable, pedestrian. The difference between sophistication and complication.
