Strongly disagree. Working on codevase that was written by "short is better" people was harder and I hated it.

I don't care for your saved strokes. Make it apparent.

From a syntax perspective, I would argue the grammar of a language does make it apparent.

You're generally not supposed to think about grammar rules when you read or write a language you know (code or prose)

Your omission of a period is ironic.

He is doing exactly what he says; that isn't irony in any sense of the word. You could call it emblematic, but not ironic.

[jcelerier → windows2020]

You're making my point: the period being there or not does not matter, what matters is that you were able to parse my sentence and understand it without issue, and without needing to think about its grammar, thanks to the pattern-matching abilities of your brain.
