    Proper abstractions should make code more legible, not less. Sadly, most of the code I read both professionally and for fun does not follow this practice.

    Code is for other humans to read. The fact that it can compile into something runnable on a computer is secondary.

      I like to tell my juniors “readable code is maintainable code”. 9 out of 10 times a comment could instead just be choosing better names.
