Peer code review works very well here. Sometimes a bug gets
found the original author missed.  The maintainability/
legibility get checked if necessarily, since it is
expected that someday, someone else (perhaps one of them)
may have to maintain it.

"Dense code" is for executable files, the output of compilers
and linkers.  Source code exists for humans as few humans
ever write in the machine language of the target computer,
humans use computer languages.

Again, code for your own use or one-offs that aren't part
of the product can be anything, but professional coders
write with future maintainability in mind.
