Striking a balance between terseness and understandability

Intro

Often when calling a function I will attempt to boil the code down to the most terse expression possible. However I've noticed that when working w/ a team there is a balance to be struck between terseness and understandability.

Gitcoin::Application.configure do
  # Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/application.rb

  # Code is not reloaded between requests
  config.cache_classes = true

  # Full error reports are disabled and caching is turned on
  config.consider_all_requests_local       = false
  config.action_controller.perform_caching = true
