>We hate reading code and will avoid the hassle every time, but that doesn't mean it is easy.
Speak for yourself. I love reading code! It's hard and it takes a lot of energy, but if you hate it, maybe you should find something else to do.
Being a programmer who hates reading code is like being a bus driver who hates looking at the road: dangerous and menacing to the public and your customers.
We hate reading code and will avoid the hassle every time, but that doesn't mean it is easy.
