Why it is sometimes worth writing "overly clever" code?

In the article "Write the Most Clever Code You Possibly Can," Hillel Wayne discusses the dangers of writing overly clever code. The author emphasizes that striving for 'cleverness' can lead to errors that are difficult to diagnose and fix. Instead of focusing on being 'creative' in coding, programmers should aim for simplicity and clarity. Wayne argues that simple code facilitates teamwork and reduces the risk of introducing unintended errors. Ultimately, the author suggests that prioritizing transparency leads to better programming practices and easier long-term maintenance of software.
