> really dumb looking code
You cannot imagine how I'd value having really dumb looking code in my life.
Yet here I am, swimming in a swap of cleverness that I can't refactor nor will ever be able to wrap my head around.
I envy you.

It is generally easier to write dumb code that is consistent. It requires less mental energy and is often a very good starting point for refactoring into something more declarative and DRY.
The pain comes from inconsistent code, often either based on wrong previous assumptions, premature optimization or time pressure.
