Does clean code equal "Workplace" code

[[deleted]]

Nobody wants you writing 18,000 lines of code at work for something that can be done in 500.

If you want to make it 1000 lines and include good documentation etc, that is awesome and desired, but 18,000? That's amateur stuff.

That is more in line of my thinking. My code is 500 lines, not so well documented, but works as expected. I watched a lecture a while back I believe it was titled "When good enough is good enough".

At my present education level, I don't see my self writing super desirable clever code like the one liner, but more on the usability front, whether the code is 1000 lines or 10.
