Clean Code

I am currently reading this book. Only 50% done. But many things have stayed with me:

  • Always test your code. You will not have confidence in your code if you have not done enough testing.
  • Learn to say no.
  • What it means to say "Yes"
  • Meaning of professional developer.
  • Take care of your health.

So I'm not as concerned about 100% coverage and I'm not a big fan of TDD. I think those two principles I'm moving away from over the years.

Health is huge though. Good sleep, good diet, and a good keyboard go really far.

I did not meant to point 100% coverage or TDD. We can debate later on.

But code needs to be tested for sure. Manually or automated for sure. - That was my point.
