A "Top X" post on HN. And can there really be anything new said about qualities of clean code now that hasn't already been said many ... many times before? Given that it is a "Top X" post, I don't feel confident there will be.
I'm passing on this article.
- noxToken 10y agoMods, can you change the title of the article to Stuff About Clean Code We Already Know? This way, we can let the new users and new programmers know that everyone in the world has already seen this content? Thanks! Just because you know it doesn't mean everyone else does.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoThere a thousands(!) of articles on clean code. And at least one _really_ good book on it. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that this articles has NOTHING more to add on the subject based solely on the title.
- noxToken 10y agoI know that. You that. I'm sure 99% of the commenters of the article[citation needed] know that. But there are people who haven't read Clean Code or the bevy of of other articles on this topic. The point of a forum (usually) is to promote discussion. I click on article written about stuff I know all the time. Reading the article might not tell me anything new, but the comment discussion can bring up new points or challenge existing norms that make me reconsider why I do the things I do.
