>When you get down to it, do you really want to tailor your code base to the top 1% of coders? I think I agree with your sentiment, but to me a "top 1% coder" is someone who knows how to make things simple and readable, and knows the best abstraction to use for the goal. It's not the person who can write and/or follow the most complicated code. To me complicated code is generally a sign of a poor coder. There are exceptions, but they're rare.
