+1, came here to say this. The comprehensibility of the code matters way more than the length. It’s not like the bugs sneak in once every 50 characters typed. As I’ve gotten more experienced, my code has gotten less fancy and more verbose. A single terse expression is broken out into 3 or 4 statements, defining variables that capture and name fragments. But yeah, otherwise really enjoyed the article!
