Kernighan's Law summarized: Debugging is twice as hard as writing code. If you write code as cleverly as possible, you are not smart enough to debug it.

The most clever solution is rarely the best for a team environment.

Code is read far more than written. Choose clarity over cleverness. Your future self will thank you.

@raiderrobert Better use techniques that minimize debugging, such as using well-typed programming languages like Haskell.
