You can find many books out there written on conventions and widely accepted methodologies. But for me it boils down to three important things:
Documentation: a well documented code will reduce the time and effort you spend on understanding it.
Modularity: a code constructed to be modular will be easy to debug and change a certain part of your code without altering the rest of your program.
Maintainability: this includes the other two and may encompass other agreed upon conventions. Mainly, the whole point of writing a quality code is to make it maintainable for a longer time.
As I said, there are several methods and conventions out there. This is my personal view.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
