Narcissism forgiven. That is petty code.

Readable, followable code is definitely on my top sexy list. I want to be able to read it like a story and not have to guess at obscure conventions someone made up to keep their job proprietary.

I really like it when the entrypoint function itself tells the basic story of how the program works.

Too many entrypoints are a combination of verbose boilerplate and obscure setup of "handler managers" and "event factories" and god knows what.

Often I look at a main function and it just seems to kind of start... something... and I have no clear idea of where to look for the code that actually does anything.
