My response has less to do with mantras and more to do with
the idea of wasting space.
I have a perl pet peeve that I know everyone will jump on me about, but I do it because of the need to save time during debugging. I hate the one line conditional. You know the little villian:
Funny how it takes no longer to compile or run in a multi-line statement, yet everyone wants to do it in one line to look cool. Let's say I need to add a second statement to that conditional or need to put a print statement in there to debug it. Cut and paste, cut and paste, and then cut and paste to put it back. Okay, so maybe that is my mantra: "avoid cut and paste, avoid cut and paste..." :)
I admit it, I am Paco.
