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

• Make it easier to find and fix bugs
• Make the development process faster
