Start With Ugly Code

Experienced programmers often jump to 'elegant' solutions too early, adding abstractions before fully understanding the problem. Using a small code example, this post argues for starting with the simplest code that passes the tests — avoiding both cryptic one-liners and speculative generality. It uses three code quality metrics (SLOC, cyclomatic complexity, ABC) to objectively compare variants, showing the simple solution wins. The TDD Red-Green-Refactor cycle is presented as the mechanism for arriving at this simple starting point, with specific guidance on when to tolerate duplication versus generalize, and why tests should assert concrete values rather than mirror implementation logic.
