One has only a finite number of keystrokes before one's hands give out. Use them wisely.

For example, you can write English and still be understood (reasonably) well without most of the vowels. But how on Earth do you interpret "ld mn gd t shp"? Or any Perl/Ruby/whatever golf entry? I'd rather waste keystrokes writing clearer code than brain cycles understanding obfuscated code, personally. --Sam
