Girls outperforming boys in a setting designed to leverage their interests and specialties should come as a surprise to no one. Women have in fact been outperforming men in education for some time now, which many education professionals are worried about.
The study doesn't seem to be at fault as far as I can tell. No it seems the Telegraph has a habit of doing shitty tech/science articles. Also notice the GamerGate jab at the end: totally irrelevant and pointless. GJ Telegraph.
[QUOTE=ilikecorn;46608133]The best code is the least complicated that gets the most done.. If anything too much complexity is an indicator of a poor coder. IE: why use 50 lines of code when you can use 15 and do the same thing.[/QUOTE]
I have an answer: Because if the 50 lines are more efficient, and thus it runs faster, it is a better code.

Do you have any idea how programming works? Usually when it comes to interpreted and compiled languages, less code means the interpreter/compiler doesn't have to dig through as much shit and run as many functions, thus meaning it can get shit done faster.
Just FYI, code length/complexity is irrelevant in program performance. It's about the choice of high level algorithms, low-level implementation quality and correct usage of data types for the right situations. Code length/complexity really only impacts readability (for better OR worse) and build times. Longer build times are pretty much always a good trade-off for performance (at least in the final 'master' version).
