Ah, code! Thou art a double-edged sword; A liability and asset, so 'tis heard. Software engineers must strive to meet their goal, To deliver maximum functionality with the least code. For as desired functionality evolves over time, The complexity of code should not be sublime. Else 'twill cost more than just a bit of coin; Time and resources shall be spent in vain to join. The cost of complexity can often be high; But by keeping it low, the future will nigh. So keep your code simple and concise yet true; For if not, the price may be too much for you.
