Yeah, the need to shove as much code as possible into one line seems to go away with experience. Once you have to debug and maintain that crap you realize very quickly that one liners are not necessarily something to strive for.
I used to strive for clever solutions. The shorter the better. I still like to look at them but I want them as far away as possible from my code base. Sure, if a solution is clever and efficient, while still readable, maintainable and easy to understand when documented properly, I'd use it. However, my general rule of thumb these days is: "Write this code, so an utter idiot can read it". Because that's what's going to happen: One day I'll have to read it again, and I'll feel like an idiot, trying to understand what once went through my brain.
That's something that took me way too long to learn and I feel that novice programmers should embrace that more. We all like to feel like Einstein sometimes, but a big code base is not the place for solutions only we can understand... temporarily.
