> "Wider code is harder to read. Period. " That's stated as if it were proven, and I can believe that it has enough basis in fact that one might choose to enforce it, but I don't believe it's universally true. I do often see code subject to a line-length linting enforcement that I think would have been clearer not broken up across multiple lines. Personally I prefer a linter with escape hatches so that you can declare "this line exempt from such and such a rule" if you have enough reason for it and are willing to take the fight to the pull request :D
