Or I could elaborate, expound, simplify, and expand my solution.
It depends what I’m getting paid for.
If I’m getting paid for lines of code, guess who’s going to re-implement functions that could have been a single line of code?

Turning one line of code into 3,000 - easy.
Turning 1,000 lines into 100 - that’s when you know you’re working with a professional.
