> I see a troubling trend with some coworkers where they seem to stretch the limits of time and space to make every line as dense as possible, usually using lodash. I think it is a point of pride for them, but I think it's obvious that everyone's life would be easier if they just wrote their code out "long form" Concision can be used for emphasis as verbosity can be used to obscure. > Instead, I find myself having to re-write ultra-dense blobs of code in order to debug or even simply understand what's going on. Is this problem because their method is inherently nee complex or is it due to lack of familiarity? Perhaps they debug that code differently then you do and it's incompatible with your previous mental model?
