it’s not useful for programming and it makes code more verbose, poorly structured, and requires too many attempts to get a mildly useful block.
yes, that's bad
yes, that's bad
How is that bad? I can't count how many times I've revisited my work a year or more later, and wondered what I was thinking, having taken 2 minutes to parse something dense that I wrote, and then thought "why didn't I make this a little clearer at the time?"
More verbose does not imply that is is more clear, it is often rambling and not even accurate.
Ah yes, that makes sense; thank you.
correct. it’s long winded code that could be written a lot more succinctly.
