Your mention of simple and clean code makes me think of the excellent talk "Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python".
Although it relates to Python programming, if the ideas and principles (and thoughtfulness and pace) from it could be applied to much more written code, then (I think) we as an industry and all our users would be in a better place.

- Chris_Newton 6y agoPossibly worth noting that the presentation there is a few years old now and appears to be using Python 2 for the examples, so some of the code wouldn’t be exactly the same in Python 3 even if the ideas still make sense. With that caveat, watching almost anything that Raymond Hettinger presents is positively correlated with improving programmer skill.
