[thelist] The Excercise of Elegance

What are some of the things that you do in order to make your code 
more elegant, that is, briefer, more concise and clearer?

One of my aims is to always write code that not only accomplishes the 
purpose in the least amount of steps, but that is very easy for a 
stranger to come up and understand my code.

I'd love to hear some of the things that you focus on.
