Clarity
Clever is dumb
Clarity is worth it

[string componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];
[string componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"]; huh?
[string componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"]; huh? NSComponent?
[string componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"]; 95% clear
[string componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"]; 100% verbose 95% clear
string.split("\n")
string.split("\n") 95% clear
Adding more words doesn't help
What if you’re not sure?
None
split componentsSeparatedByString
Why save bytes?
clarity > brevity
brevity ⊂ clarity
Verbosity ain't free
Reading takes effort
clear > confusing short > verbose
Find the sweet spot
Remove the noise
