    I liked reduce. You know, back when writing code was actually a thing we all did.

    However, in those times of yore, I would often go back and remove it before committing. Unless you’re surrounded by other clever people, or it’s a personal project, you’re leaving behind some very elegant looking anxiety for the less gifted developers. Usually just to save one or two lines of code.
