Clever code considered harmful.. There is something undeniably… | by Joshua Comeau | Medium
The article taught me really important points for working with shared code. I want to recommend it to all developers ✨
My takeaways
I am citing some points from the article below, yet I encourage you to read the original article 😉
- A good barometer: will an intern understand it?
- Good code is simple code
- Code that makes minimal use of abstractions ⇒ Abstractions add complexity
- Readability is king when it comes to shared code
- Pernicious bugs are often caused by too much complexity, not too many characters
- The key is to weigh the cost of an abstraction against its benefit
- Consider the tradeoffs of abstractions with the junior coder in mind
- Turning a complex problem into simple code is so much more impressive than solving a simple problem with a complex solution
