The nice thing about concise, highly performant, and most importantly, highly documented code is that it gives you the best of all worlds: it lets the computers do what you need as fast as possible, while also letting programmers get their learn on and actually deepen their understanding of the language they work with because the code comes with its own textbook. You need all three though: take any of those aspects away, and you end with something that's going to get ripped out when the next programmer needs to maintain the codebase either because it's wastefully verbose, needlessly underperformant, or no on can understand what the hell all these "clever tricks" (usually based on an understanding of computer science, rather than software development - the two haven't been the same thing for decades now) do.
