npub14yqjkzqkgv4a27egvq5xmh2ravemytg9g5kldqeqfts92uvh90sq2vrfl3 (npub14yq…rfl3) Unfortunately shorter code does not normally mean that it's more readable. The search to make things shorter and more concise can lead to the opposite effect, i.e. fancy tricks and bad naming styles.
I favor readability over everything else too, but that normally leads to a lot of verbosity. But I'll take verbosity of tricky code any day.
Some of my code is extremely verbose, with VeryLongVariableAndFunctionNamesThatCanBreak columns, but this leads to auto-documenting code.
