Too DRY – The Grep Test
- quickthrower2 8y agoI agree wholeheartedly. The easiest code based to get productive with are those you can search. I’ll add to the grep test: you should be able to grep text you see on a web page or desktop/mobile ui. Imagine a new starter gets a bug assigned on their first day, they can search the code base for the strings shown in screenshots and find the code in under 2 minutes and fix the bug that day. This is what you want. This helps maintainability and developer happiness.
