Discussion on: What's your favorite line of code?

My favorite lines of code is those which saves me typing and makes my code cleaner. Like:

global log = console.log

Over the time that line grow to a full module, but I think that saved me hundreds of console dots.

I love doing things like that with my output statements! It lets me swap out the implementation or even disable output entirely without modifying every log statement in my code. 👌

To be honest, that line was later refactored to:

global.log = function (...p) {
  log.data.push(p)
  log.console(...p)
}

log.data = []
log.console = console.log
console.log = log
...

To create a log history to be flushed later, and redirect all console.log() to log(). But lost a little bit of its beauty.
