I was reading up Robert Martin’s book on Clean Code. He described many different scenarios regarding why clean code is so important. You don’t want to work on a codebase that is just all over the place. Imagine having to build a codebase from scratch, and you don’t even know what the code means. That would be an awful thing to be task with. I’ve been asked what is one thing that I would like to start doing more? Well, trying to style my code is what I’m going to be focusing on, and not just that making sure to implement code comments, so other people understand what the code means. I personally do always write comments but there not always the most descriptive so I need to work on that. I also have to start looking for bad code smells. Usually, if it works I leave it alone, which shouldn’t be the case.
