It’s a bit more meta than what this guide covers, but I wish something was said about treating writing code as fundamentally a writing process. Most documents like this focus on “what readable code is”, and not “how do I achieve that product”.
Brainstorm, outline, draft, revise, rearrange. Have a high-level structure that makes sense, clean up “sentence structure” and “word choice”. Often the best path to “readable code” is “brain dump a mess, than revise” rather than “write a perfect first draft”.
