Too much less is not too much more

Read Original

The article discusses a programmer's evolution from a strict 'less is more' coding philosophy to a more nuanced approach. It argues that while concise code is good, an obsession with minimizing lines can harm readability and maintainability. The author advocates for writing more, shorter functions with clear scopes, even if it increases total code volume, to make software easier to understand and debug.
