Readable Code Over Clever Code

We all love a sleek, one-line Python list comprehension, but there's a tipping point where "clever" becomes "unreadable." If your comprehension includes multiple nested loops or complex conditional logic, it’s usually better to refactor it into a standard for-loop.

Your future self—and your teammates—will thank you when they can understand the logic at a glance during a code review instead of solving a logic puzzle. Remember: code is read much more often than it is written.
