Summary of 'Clean code' by Robert C. Martin

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.


General rules

  1. Follow standard conventions.
  2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
  3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
  4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

Design rules

Как подавать заявки в вузы США

Процесс подачи заявок проходит примерно так:

  • Сначала надо предварительно выбрать вузы, в которые вы будете подавать заявку.
  • В августе-сентябре надо зарегистрироваться на три стандартных экзамена и оплатить их ($255 + $150 + $195). Отправка результатов в четыре вуза бесплатно, но их надо будет выбирать между регистрацией и днем экзамена.
  • Где-то к концу октября их всех нужно уже сдать. Потом можно за дополнительные деньги рассылать результаты в другие вузы.
  • Где-нибудь в середине ноября попросить трех людей написать вам рекомендации.
  • В начале декабря заняться заполнением анкет в вузах.
  • Написать Statement of Purpose.

Trello CSS Guide

“I perfectly understand our CSS. I never have any issues with cascading rules. I never have to use !important or inline styles. Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”

You often hear updog saying stuff like this. Who’s updog? Not much, who is up with you?
