academic is about computer science not computer programming. 2 very different things, their "shitty code" is often "good computer science code" and just like it's fine to have single letter variables when reading mathematics, it's the same when reading computer science code. the idea is to get knowledge across which can then be expressed clearly by computer programmers.
