A question that every developer has to ask themselves at some point is: “should I do what feels easier for me now, but makes life harder in the future for my users, my teammates, and myself?”
There can be other factors that influence the decision, but the answer should be NO.

Coding is more about communicating than computing.
New data: the best predictor of how quickly people learned to code wasn't math or cognitive ability, but language aptitude.
Math skill was almost irrelevant. Coding is mastering a language, not numbers.
