I mean this sincerely, shorter code is not easier code. Code was invented to instruct machines in a human interactive interface, the code will not run any slower with slightly longer variable names. It may downloaded an absolutely miniscule amount slower but that is a price we should all be wiling to pay for maintainable code for yourself and potentially a team of others if this thing goes viral

If this 'thing' goes viral?
Well, why don't you just spread the good word, and help it become viral? 🤨
