gollark: Well, you might write less code if you're busy staring at blurry text.
gollark: Let us all configure our IDEs to blur text annoyingly.
gollark: Because they write less code?
gollark: As I like to say, being able to instantly see "ah, a for loop" and know what a for loop does instead of seeing `map` and `filter` and whatnot isn't the same as actually understanding the code, and `filter`/`map` allow you to focus on the actual problem instead of copy-pasting for loops.
gollark: "I like being able to look at code and see for loops but have no idea what's going on at a high level"
