None of the above.

IMHO the most important aspect of coding is CLARITY!

Clarity makes all the others possible. Without it, you can't implement any of the others.

Clarity is why we create subroutines and classes: To break up the code into manageable chunks mere humans can understand. Clarity is why we have comments and expressive variable/method names.

Clarity is why a method of three subroutine calls in a loop is superior to a 200-line mess that no one can understand or reliably modify.

Clarity is key to writing maintainable, reliable code.

Good programmers strive for clarity.

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
