If you try to eliminate every bit of subjectivity from your explanations, just like if you try to specify every possible detail of coding style in a million or more rules, your standards will be overcomplex, unreadable, ignored and therefore pointless. | |

actually, you want 2 functions/operations per line. a = b is one operation, b + c is a second, which means a = b + c is 2 operations. Chaining 2 functions/operators is still readable: foo(bar()), or a = foo().
