Doesn't this rest on the premise that debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place rather than a definition? And if using the claim that writing as cleverly makes you not smart enough to debug to justify that definition, isn't that somewhat circular in reasoning?
bruh it's just a funny quote, i wrote it as a sarcasm take a chill dude
