Readability: If it was hard to make, it should be hard to read ~ unknown.
Oftentimes I do the same, but often I don't. It depends for me a lot. When I work on a large project, I more value readability.
This is written on one of the white boards at Google:
"You need to be twice as smart as the person who wrote the code in order to debug it. So if you use all your smarts to design and write it, you won't be smart enough to debug it!"
I try to make cleaner code now after reading that quote, but still enjoy obfuscating
Hope this helps later on
I mean, I love having significant variable identifiers, but any identifier longer than 4 characters seems like a pain to write...
Anyways, just having correct indentation in your code seems clean enough.
