text on there made my eyes hurt.

the basic message seems to be "don't do what everyone else is doing just because everyone else does it".

Which is great in your bedroom, but in a team with lots of eyes on your code the most efficient way is to use the same style, with that style being one that is easy to read and that avoids potential misunderstandings and bugs.

I can't imagine any situation in the sphere of development this article is about in which worrying about a couple of hundred bytes is more important than having a set of code that someone other than yourself could happily sit in front of.
