@nixCraft

"What beautiful code!"
"Thanks .. it only took 17 revisions and five years."

@nixCraft boring and doesn't fulfill requirements.
@nixCraft
Clean code is opinionated, open to interpretation and a golden hammer.
@nixCraft understandable even with just little commenting
@nixCraft what OutKastโ€™s, โ€œSo Fresh, So Cleanโ€ was written about.
@nixCraft either bloated or incomplete
@nixCraft impractical, if not impossible. Document the dirty details and deliver.
@nixCraft Clean code is only in your mind. Once you start typing it gets messy.

@nixCraft

Clean code is like a well-organized sock drawerโ€”everything is in its place, easy to find, and you won't pull out a mismatched pair when you're in a hurry.

Code that even your future self won't curse at 3 AM when debugging.

The kind of code that makes other folks say, "Ah, I get it," instead of "What was this person thinking?"

@nixCraft

... Undocumented.

The term is such an anti-pattern.

@nixCraft ... when you're coding a washing machine's firmware.
@nixCraft About 1000 lines for those whole program and written by you in the past week. (anything written farther back or longer has dirty places that need to be cleaned)

@nixCraft
... code that says what it does with as little fuss as possible.
@nixCraft ...eventually getting dirty.
@nixCraft something you'll be ashamed in the future.
@nixCraft Easy to read set of instructions?
@nixCraft Shortest (in characters or assembly it's up yo writer) code that solves given problem.
