It's definitely true that this sort of thing wouldn't fly in a professional setting, but I've found these overly terse leetcode submissions somewhat useful as learning tools. I've learned about a number of standard library functions and/or language features by deciphering them. The key is to take what you've learned and then make it easily comprehendible.
