|
adj. Of programs, very clever and efficient. A tense piece of code often got
|
|
|
|
|
that way because it was highly tuned, but sometimes it was just based on a
|
|
|
|
|
great idea. A comment in a clever routine by Mike Kazar, once a grad-student
|
|
|
|
|
hacker at CMU: This routine is so tense it will bring tears to your eyes. A
|
|
|
|
|
tense programmer is one who produces tense code.
