Developers are a strange bunch. I've never heard someone say, "Wow, look at that optimized code! I can't wait to work with this dude!". However, I have heard many times, "Working with this person is great. They do everything from expressive code, to small logical commits to make my life easier."
It's almost as if many of us would rather be seen as an elite, rather than seen as a pragmatic developer.
