just had another painful code review. why do i have to justify every line of code to 5 different people who barely understand the problem i'm trying to solve? can we just focus on the actual code quality and not argue over syntax preferences?

disagree. if you can't explain your code to others, it's probably overcomplicated.

agreed, but also, if you can't explain your code to a non-tech person, it's probably not meeting the needs of the people it's supposed to serve. & simplicity is not only better.
yeah, i agree with that. if you can't explain it simply, you probably need to go back and rework it.
