> Express the exact same thing, in 1/6 the code, and somehow the shorter code takes longer to read and understand? I think people need to differentiate between code review and code scanning. I look at code completely different when someone is pointing to it than when I'm scanning through a file. A ternary operator isn't tough to read when you're already looking at it. However, scanning through a file I'm going to have a lot more difficulty spotting a `?` than I am the indentation of an if/else block. I'm more than content to take 5 lines instead of 1 to spot it 2 months later when I don't know what I'm looking at. |
