It's okay if your first draft is messy, Just don't leave it that way. #cleancode #code #programming #developer

Functions should be small. They should do one thing. They should operate at one level of abstraction. We've discussed these rules, but to be honest, nobody writes clean code on the first try. Writing code is like writing an essay. We get our thoughts down first, messy and disorganized. Nested loops, names that mean nothing, long argument lists, and duplicated code everywhere. And that's completely fine. As long as we have tests covering all of it, we can refactor with confidence. We split functions, find better names, eliminate duplication. Iteration by iteration, the code starts following every rule. So clean code isn't written. It's rewritten. Follow for more clean code principles coming next.
