I am a big fan of forced simplicity. In practice that means (dramatically) less code, less abstraction, single paradigm, less choices. People tend to find the code extremely readable and easy to follow but yet somehow exotically foreign and thus grade it poorly. To me that sounds like selection bias. So I have stopped worrying how people might grade my code and instead attempt to prove everything with numbers, such as execution speed or time to add new features.
