Fewer LoC isn't always better for maintenance. I'd certainly rather have my team maintain 1KLoC of JavaScript than 50LoC of Brainfuck.

Good point. I write Swift. It's very easy to write almost entirely inscrutable Swift.

I sometimes have to go back, and put code back in, to make it maintainable (often, by Yours Truly).
