# Damien Katz on Reading Code.

> "Reading code is WAY harder than writing it"
> I've heard that before, and I read that again today on a discussion board. My experience is the opposite, but then I've read a lot of code over the years, my brain is trained to do it. And writing good code isn't easy, it takes planning, discipline and meticulous attention to details.
> But perhaps my world is different from most developers. Do people generally think that's true?
