I find that in a team environment that I would prefer my co-workers write more lines of code, and longer lines at that.

While, given a moment or two, I can unpack a dense list comprehension (a one liner) I would rather read several statements that add up the same thing.

Of course there are many times when you could do the same thing with fewer lines, in a more elegant, straight-forward way. However I have a hard time believing that just having fewer lines is a sufficient goal for flexible, maintainable code.

Then again I'm pretty new at this :)
