You are missing my point. Who are finding these “ pro publica studies” and who benefits? How does your average person in HN who is prone to have issues from student loan debt, rising healthcare costs, or cost of living going to benefit from

We had a dev in our team who would love to use these one liner cryptic expressions and challenge the minds of code reviewers. It was all fun until he left and others had to refactor bunch of code. One liners like that often have very little
