I quite like the chirurgical, strategic feel of the exposition. Denotes clear thinking, and/or multiple revisions.

When I work in some code I often spend too much time on reviewing and enhancing code in this way, but mine being a side project all that work (I’m not the best programmer by far) is either for future me or for no one, and often I end up feeling that I lost time for nothing.

But I like to spend time in making this kind of clean code {shrug}.
