The
hypothetical amount of
code needed to solve any given problem, as given by a professor I once did research under. A
running joke with everyone else that worked with him.
A typical conversation where this phrase would occur:
Grad Student: So you want a program that will generate surface data given 3 pictures of a room and some camera position data, by next tuesday?
Professor: Well, all you have to do is choose edge points and set up some
matrices. From there it's just two
lines of code.
