Or "don't think you're as smart as you think you are."

Perhaps there's a line to be drawn from here to the dictum that code should be only half as clever as it could be, because debugging is twice as hard.

Jokes about recursion are always funny, just like this one!

Not just that, but also "...and you'll never be able to handle it, and the sleek scoundrel on the other side knows it".

So you want to wave away whole storytelling experience by sentence that fits in a tweet.

Gist of it might be true but reading dry sentence doesn’t do to a brain same thing as reading a story and going for a ride along with the imaginary person.

Well done story evokes emotions, makes one think of what ifs and what nots.

Also a lot of memes or tweet length life lessons are not possible without long form background we share as a society.

I see a "discussions" one time where a professor tried to explain why Twitter is actually bad for the wiring of the brain. The other guy was a self proclaimed twitter expert. Every time the professor tried to say something the twitter expert interupted him just around 500 chars. The professor eventually got angry then the twitter man said, but i already knew what you wanted to say.

Enraged the professor stood up then left the room.

I thought it was the best instance of my work here is done

And then the whole class stood and clapped - and that twitter expert’s name?
