Thanks. Yes it was more about my personal choice and whether I'm actually growing with regards to my skill level. Everyones examples are clear and show how I can save my fingers but still be concise. I've got a ton of for loops that just go through an array and mung each element and push into a new one which I can now make clearer.
I don't think I've done enough or stretched myself as it's been 8 years now :-)
