I'd agree with this as someone that is now rarely writing production code, but often reading other people's code as part of designing components or analyzing issues. I've recently seen very complex ternary expressions, linq queries and historically sql which were essentially unsupportable. In future I would try and spot this earlier and expect comments, tests or just some refactoring to better describe the process. People working at a low level find it difficult to realise that their code is essentially unreadable, we've all been there and come back and had no idea what we were doing!
