I've come to the same conclusion, really smart people who write compilers, name their variables one single letter and the like (the extreme variant) etc., they can actually see the matrix beyond the funny characters on the screen, they have the capacity and attention to understand the messy bits without having to make it neat, those three nested for-loops inside multiple conditionals don't bother them, they can quickly visually parse difficult code without refactoring and sectioning it off. On the opposite side, there some like me who are deficient in that regard, so I spend my time pimping my code to look nice, nit-picking on syntax style, eliminating else-clauses, trivial stuff like that.
