I like the threeeaaaddd, but it’s so long isn’t ironic you talk about hard to read code and need so long to make your point :-)

Some points are subtle and take a lot of words to explain well. You can't tl;dr subtlety. Also, code has multiple paths and this thread has only one: statement; statement; statement; etc
