My new checklist for making programs easy to understand and work with in the future. - Make the program in complete slices of a functionality and put those into folders and files that are descriptive of what the code does: "web/login/facebook/always_ask_for_email.lang" - Do repeat yourself in different functionality areas. - Name your variables and functions as if they should never conflict/as specifically as you dare. - Use a functional and immutable programming language or write pure functions as much as possible. - Stop thinking that patterns are necessary to solve the problem of turning data from one form into another. I might be wrong.
