Sure. The five lines are just for readability.

It takes a five line Python script to generate a secure password. But no, let’s waste a gigantic amount of energy to have a slop machine do it very badly.

“Those companies running the orphan crushing machines are really evil.”

You can call Linus a lot things but stylish is a bit of a stretch.
