Boring code is code that numbs your senses with constant flow of
boilerplate crap, memory management and redundant type declarations
and general blah blah that you skip when you are trying to figure out
what a piece of code does. It's a code that you wish you could train a
monkey to write for you while you go for lunch. Think C++ or Java.
