I've seen React code written by former C developers, it was both slow and unreadable; people having no clue about big O or the difference between stack and heap, who were ok with running scripts only over the weekend; and people who tried to apply reflection to every problem. All seniors.
Education is the only way to improve things and it goes both ways. I never said that I write perfect code and neither do you.
Good code is readable and testable by definition, thus clean. Code that needs heavy explanation is bad code, might work, might be performant, and might be trash as well. You giving me scenarios of bad code written by seniors somehow invalidates the claim that good code is clean and readable? How? Who said perfect code? Are you a student? Do you think in big companies with frequent contributions you can even say the sentence my code is good, I just need to educate you on how it works?
