Clean Code Matters
I have to admit that the idea of Clean Code is something new for me, and it felt like something that I never knew before! That fact changed when I got to know about Scrum; the Agile development framework. After I attended the Test-Driven Development (TDD) Workshop from Odd-E, someone recommended a book called ‘Clean Code’ that changed my perspective on how to write codes!
As Martin Fowler once said: “Any fool can write code that machine can understand.GOOD programmers write code that humans can understand.”
Ever since then, I always try to pay more attention when writing codes. Here are a few points that I keep in mind:
- DON’T write any production codes without having any unit testing
- DON’T add anymore duplicate codes
- DO improve the code base so it is better than before
But, are these helping me to write a clean code? Not exactly… but it certainly made me care more about the code that I write, at least more than before!
