   I'm ever guilty of choosing the somewhat harder way when I develop an app in order to make it a bit more challenging. For example, I frequently challenge myself to get away with as few nested DIVs as possible when doing HTML/CSS. Simply piling on the DIVs feels like a defeat to me. I'm assisting a trainee at work and he hates me because I never take the path of least resistance and am always stripping away 50% of his code.

      He keeps asking me "Why are you doing it this way? Why don't you just XXX?"
      Also, he rolls his eyes every time I tell him to fix his indentation and to pad his expressions with spaces in the appropriate places. I don't understand how he can even find his way around his own source code. I also don't understand how he can stand leaving random groups of blank lines every were.
