It goes both ways. As a C programmer I'm inclined to make certain streamlines or optimizations that, when I show them to my peers, exemplify that I am NOT writing idiomatic code. But to me and my niche online C community the approaches are completely obvious and even viewed as elegant. Do I add comments or not? Should the person reading my code "just learn" how it works? Or should I "just realize" that I am using advanced patterns that few people know?
