A recent realisation: often the more succinct code is easier to read, and the more verbose code is easier to write.
Explicit => easy to read is a fallacy on several levels.

This in particular, but also the whole thread.
I had a nontech friend the other day say that they were scared to message their family members because of all the news on how insecure Zoom was. This is what we've done.

** Tomorrow is April first, and many places have traditions of invented news stories designed to trick people.
If you're thinking of posting one, please consider that people are worried and anxious, and ask yourself if you really need to do an April Fools this year. **
