It matters as soon as a requirement change comes in and you have to change something. Writing a dirty ass incomprehensible, but working piece of code is ok, as long as no one touches it again.
But as soon as code has to be reworked, worked on together by multiple people, or you just want to understand what you did 2 weeks earlier, code readability becomes important.
I like Uncle Bobs Clean Code (with a grain of salt) for a general idea of what such an approach to make code readable could look like. However, it is controversial and if overdone, can achieve the opposite. I like it as a starting point though.
I recently held a science slam about this topic! It’s a mix of the first computer scientists being mathematicians, who love their abbreviations, and limited screen size, memory and file size. It’s a trend in computing that has been well justified in the past, but has been making it harder for people to work together. And the need to use abbreviations has completely gone with the age of auto completion and language servers.
Waiting for him to finish the trilogy with Cleanest Code
no, but the concept was introduced by uncle Bob.
Tbh it’s not only grandma. Grandpa was involved as well, and it was usual that grandpa wanted to but grandma not, and they did it anyways.
fortunately it’s just a meme, but thank you for believing in me!
Thanks, that’s exactly the resource I was looking for. I’d give more than one upvote if I could :D
got it. banned. /s
It’s become so much better since I started banning communities. I might unban them in a year or so, but for now my timeline stays clean.
Thanks! I was wondering why it so readily drank up all the water I gave it, my aloe didn’t like that much water.
I have no idea, bought it because the fruit / flower looked interesting. It’s probably a dragon fruit, judging from the other comments, the fruit looked similar. It came in this pot and I water when I notice that the earth is dry
Thanks! Damn, that’s already the sunniest spot in my room / flat.
