I didn't put the number into the title to make it a competition. LoC is a poor metric. I put it to communicate to the reader that they won't have to spend a lot of time reading the article to get a full understanding.

I always put extra effort into trying to make my blog posts shorter without sacrificing the quality. I think good technical writing should transfer the knowledge while requesting the least amount of time possible from the reader.

I simply meant that I don't consider the title misleading; it's in keeping with the format of the original title and both solutions use third-party libraries to communicate with the external service.
