I'm most likely less experiment than some people here but after 10+ years of writing code, I came to the conclusion that the best code is the most readable code.
If all developers could write code that is easily readable for them (even after a few months break in the project), the software engineering world would be a lot better :)
Of course it makes sense to avoid anti-patterns and bottlenecks, but no much more really.
