Without doubt, the "hacker style" code example is the better one in this example -- if equipped with a suitable comment ;-)
We will always need "hackery" people because they are the ones who write groundbreaking codes never seen before. It's not so much a question of writing assembly but of being able to master the math and the abstraction. That's why functional programming is still a myth for the majority of programmers ("designers"), who still stick in 1995s OOP world. And that's why the security world will still be ruled by people who understand the systems. Hackers.
