To make a code readable, the fewer words you must read, the better.
That's why I'm a big fan of terseness, (hence my nickname)
A great thinker I love is Saint-Exupéry. He once said:
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Another master, whose words I bring in my heart is Winston Churchill, and there is two quotes of him I want to echo to inspire you as they did with me.
The first says:
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
And the second,
Short words are best and old words when short are the best of all.
As those masters with theirs writings, I see my code as poetry. Sometimes I spend hours in a few lines, as if I was writing a testament. (If I must leave a legacy, I want it be precious.)
So, when writing your next line, remember those luminaries of the past and please,
Keep It Simple Sweetie
