I've read that good generals worry about tactics and great generals worry about logistics.

Good programmers play code golf, great programmers write readable and maintainable code.

Your example seems reasonable but programmers also like to act like the smartest one in the room. I often come across tricky and borderline obfuscated code because somebody wanted to look clever. This is a logistical nightmare.
