+
+A lot of code is written once by one person and not changed again.
+
+But it's read by multiple people at multiple times.
+
+If the code is read more than it's written, we should be optimising it for readability so it's easier for people to understand.
+
+The application doesn't care whether you wrote the code the "clever" way or the "boring" way, but people will appreciate the more readable version.
+
+If I need to review or work on the code in the future, I want to read and understand it easily.
