    I’m going to set my terminal width to 1 character. That way my “lines” of code count goes way up.

      That’s the kind of thinking that a Sociopathic Oligarch could get behind, which is entirely the problem. Gaming and/or hacking the system is preferable to doing things properly. They want to be “disruptive,” even when it’s ill-advised.

        Imagine trying to read that

        Kernel code is very often a series of short words, and very often formatted to take a lot of vertical space (i.e lines of code). It can be hard to read, especially when it’s a short code that corresponds to a longer function or location; but with practice we can cope.

        tho

        See? You’re expecting people to do it already. And kernel code conforms to the grammar a lot more than American 'english.

          I wasn’t trying to suggest that it would be impossible- it’s obviously not. Just that it would be a difficult adjustment.
