The average thread on PerlMonks (at least when I was a heavy reader) eventually turns to code golf.

The voting system of PerlMonks rewards this.

Trying to force that culture of expression and code gymnastics to write a maintainable codebase just isn't worth it in my opinion.

Don't adopt a voting system like that of PerlMonks in your business, I guess. Or else hire responsible adults. That seems straightforward enough.
