Yes, even the "unconcise" first draft of anyone who cares enough to be here on HN is much better than some of the code out there. There's a basic level of concision you'll have by default if you actually understand the problem and the tools. You won't go away out of the way to complicate things. Maybe it's still a far cry from optimal, and definitely not code golf, but enough that I'd be worried if I saw even a first draft without it.
