One thing I would like to start doing more often would be to try implementing the boy scout rule in my code submissions. After reading chapter 1 of Robert Martin\u2019s “Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship,” I don’t know why, but I never really implemented this rule as much as I should when I would create my code submissions. “Change one variable name for the better, break up one function that\u2019s a little too large, eliminate one small bit of duplication, clean up one composite if statement”(Martin, 2008). I would like to try this out in the future and hopefully become a better coder and engineer by doing so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing I would want to avoid doing would be writing more comments than needed in my code submissions. I always struggled with writing less comments on my code submissions and looking back at what I’ve done, I can understand why I need to write less words and more code. Most of my code submissions are extremely crowded and hard to read because of my comments and I hope that I can stop this habit once and for all in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While reading chapter 3 of Martin Fowler’s “Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code,” I learned that “comments are used as deodorant”(Fowler, 2018). Meaning, that more comments in a code submission means that the code is bad and is either hard to read or it doesn’t run\/work. It’s best to get rid of unnecessary comments and to use the extract and rename methods in order to write and or keep necessary comments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
