I think it depends; some smart code is good actually, think 0x5f3759df. As long as you properly document it and leave plenty of comments. This one is not smart though, at best it's what I would call witty.
I'd accept that "smart code" and "clever code" are 2 different things
Fast inverse square root eh?
This isn't smart. This is clever. It's a way to solve a problem in a novel way. It isn't the best, or even most obvious, way to solve the problem. It's just interesting.
