Answer 10

I think you have a little misconception... clean code does not mean they will be larger... instead, code clean involves programming short functions and avoiding repetitions, put simply, write less, better and human readable... therefore it also involves what you consider smart.
I recommend you “Clean Code” by Robert C. Martin!!
