By “good” I mean code that is written professionally and concisely (and obviously works as intended). Apart from personal interest and understanding what the machine spits out, is there any legit reason anyone should learn advanced coding techniques? Specifically in an engineering perspective?

If not, learning how to write code seems a tad trivial now.

    I’ve also had some decent luck when using a new/unfamiliar language by asking it to make the code I wrote more idiomatic.

    It’s been a nice way to learn some tricks I probably wouldn’t have bothered with before
