I was expecting something more profound. Isn't this just the concept of using variables to keep code readable? Not a new concept and likely one most devs learn early on.
I've had at least one code reviewer ask me to put all the logic in the
if ...line rather than use a variable or two in order to "simplify code by reducing the number of variables."At the very least, this article helped me confirm my own bias of "that guy is a moron" and I can send this article to him the next time he reviews my code.
I guess this is go, and I don't know what the scoping is. In C++ I also suggest putting as much in the if as possible, because it limits the scope of the variables.
