Fwiw, I thought it was a good talk, because this is the kind of 
thing many people ignore because they think it's "trivial".

But what I have learned over 25 years of coding is that less is 
always more.

The best code is code that can be understood.

Don't try to be cleaver. It's almost always a bad idea.
