One is not looking at dead code, instead one is working with it interactively.
Lisp is not brutalist concrete, Lisp is wet clay in the programmer's hands.
The main way to program software in Lisp is extending it while it is running and with the development tools as much integrated as possible. Thus a Lisp program has maximum information about itself, there is no separate debug mode, no long build times, no static code.
