That would be just “many” instead of “a many” in English, but:

Code that is harder to read than it needs to be is bad code. Because such
code is also harder to understand and maintain than it needs to be.

The number of variables on code is to be minimized. Code that introduces
variables just for the sake of them is bad code. Because such code is
harder to understand and maintain, and less efficient, than it needs to be.
Yours is neither a sound argument nor a professional attitude – to be

a fake e-mail address that abuses a foreign namespace (of internet.com).
