We'll cover the following...
Introduction
Why do we care so much about having clean code? What exactly is clean code? We ask these questions when we hear someone talking about clean code, good practices, and conventions. The concept can, in fact, be applied to any programming language but with different implementations.
Clean code is clear, understandable, and maintainable code. Whenever we try to use the idea of clean code, we keep in mind the other people who may need to provide maintenance to the code later. So, we need to consider that if we were the ones maintaining code written by someone who wasn’t around to explain what was going on, how clean and expressive would we want the code to be? It could make a big difference in the amount of time spent on its maintenance.
So, the main reason to have clean code is to detach it from you and give autonomy to others to lead without requiring too much support.
