Ask HN: What's your opinion, implicit vs. explicit?

The Zen of Python states "Explicit is better than implicit."

In [this article](http://www.paulgraham.com/popular.html), PG states that "Anything that can be implicit, should be." The context is about the brevity of code.

In general, I'm a fan of brevity, but I also dislike overly complicated code - by that I mean, code that is difficult to read. I'd like to hear opinions and ideas about how you balance these opposing ideas when you're writing code. My personal context is the Python language.
