One line is fine if used wisely, everybody does it for readability. The issue is when you need more than one.

Myth: code can be ugly as long as it works, don’t spend company time on making it look good or on minor optimizations.
The truth is that you can tell when effort has been put into a job. Even if it just works, the lack of discipline means that in the end it will be difficult to maintain and probably will fail in unexpected situations.
Every language has it’s conventions, but if I spot more than a line of separation between blocks of code, that is a common telltale sign of noob. Run from that shit.
- Comment on What is wage theft exactly? 9 months ago:
Some easy examples you can relate to:
- do you work overtime, even for a minute, and don’t get paid for it? Wage theft!
- does your company make fun of people using their allowed days off, making you not use them? Wage theft!
- does your company make you buy tools required for your job, because the ones available are shit or non existant? Wage theft!
- does your boss call you during your days off, holidays or vacations? Wage theft!
- are you assigned tasks that are more suited to a higher compensation level, but don’t see a dime? Wage theft!
- are your coffee and lunch breaks interrupted early or entirely canceled and not compensated? Again, wage theft!

In this situation the magnets act much like a spring, so imagine changing the magnets on the stick and the car for a simple spring. That is much more easier to visualize.
- Comment on Are phone notification LEDs still a thing? 1 year ago:
Ulefone Armor 21 has a RGB notification led on the front and a light ring on the back.
It also has audio jack and get this… FM radio!
It also weighs as much as my bed, but I wouldn’t want anything else!
