Focusing on cyclomatic complexity and function length just leads to spaghetti with meatballs code. You have to keep following different strands of pasta to find where the meat is, instead of having it all in one place, like hamburger code.


I tried to search hamburger code on the web. It gave me Roblox and a bunch of CSS hamburger menus.

Sorry to ask, but what are these hamburgers you speak of?


Not OP, but it probably is meant one or two meat patties of code between two buns of code, as opposed to a meatball of code with many spaghetti pf code.

What it is with computery terminology being almost 100% allegorical?

Most other trades I know have their own words for their things. Computer people seem to stand out this way


Compared to most other trades, computing is in its infancy
