Abstract: The author presents information about code complexity and understanding. Information is presented on code complexity metrics and consequences. Examples of research performed to examine the way developers think about and comprehend other developer’s coding is presented. The article mentions the need to develop better ways of understanding code-developer interactions in order to best support developers in their work.
