Typing is cheap. Debugging, reverse-engineering and refactoring is expensive.

Taking shortcuts just because you don't like typing a few extra characters is a bad habit to have, it leads to the kinds of code that has obfuscated variable names, no comments, 'clever tricks' that put way too much logic in a single line, etc.

I used to think like you, but I realized saving a few keystrokes is almost never worth it.
