I think this is what experience teaches. Sometimes I have the itch to write clever code but then more often than not it ends up being cryptic to other developers. If you really have to write clever code, wrap it up in a well defined interface and write a bunch of tests.

I've found it also becomes cryptic to your future self who will have to figure out how to maintain it going forward
