Clean Code

Paradigms like object-oriented programming and functional programming are all about making code easier to work with. After all, programmers are just feeble humans. Code that's easy for humans to understand is called "clean code".

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

-- Martin Fowler

Clean Code Does Not

Make your programs run faster
Make your programs function correctly
Only occur in object-oriented programming

Clean Code Does

Make code easier to work with
Make it easier to find and fix bugs
Make the development process faster
Help us retain our sanity
