Yebbut, for twayne, that may be taking things a step too far..

many many years ago when I was a real noob and learning C without the
benefit of any training courses, I had to revisit some code to find two
bugs in it. The new person who had taken over asked me why I had never
used a particular language construct. I replied 'because at the time, I
didn't know it existed'

Trainee coders are often dumped into maintenance. One should be kind to
them. And with advances in modern compilers, there is no speed or
compiled code size penalty in being explicit at the source code level.

We were all noobs once.

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
