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

Clean code is like a well-organized sock drawerโeverything 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?"
