My main job, for the 20 years until I retired, was to keep telling 
people that code that you wrote 6 months ago might as well have been
written by someone else.  Optimize for reading the code, not writing
the code.  It's read many.

99.9% of the time, I detest clever code.  .1% of the time, I need it.
The problem is that smart engineers adore writing clever code.  They
usually, eventually, wise up.
