Do You Write Clean Code?

If not, here are some tips to keep in mind, next time you make a mess.

Clean code does one thing well

Bad code tries to do too much

Code should be matter-of-fact. You shouldn’t have to speculate

Your code should be easy for others to change

Make sure you write unit tests

Write code that is small

No duplicates please!

Build small abstractions

Make the language appear simple — Yes it is our job!

Keep the code clean over time — continually improve the code

Finally,

Follow Boy Scout Rule ~Leave the campground cleaner than you found it~

You get what I mean ;)

So that was the gist I got from the first chapter of Clean Code written by Robert C. Martin.
