Reasons and Ways to Improve Code Quality – Venkat Subramaniam
Improve code quality by writing clear solutions, reducing complexity, and prioritizing maintainability through automated testing, strategic code reviews, and technical debt management.
- Focus on writing functions with instructions at the same level of detail to improve code quality.
- Quality of code is inversely proportional to the effort it takes to understand it.
- Instead of writing a clever solution, focus on writing a clear solution that solves the problem.
- Good code is about empathy and humanity, not just technical complexity.
- Write tests before reviewing code and fix bugs when found.
- Look for relevance in code and avoid unnecessary complexity.
- Focus on extensibility and optimize for reading rather than writing code.
- Reduce dependencies as much as possible to improve code quality.
- Write automated tests to improve design quality and catch bugs early.
- Pay technical debt by listing and prioritizing issues, then scheduling time to fix them.
- Quality code is measurable by how well it can respond to changes and questions.
- Documentation should be self-documenting and explain why code is designed a certain way.
- Code reviews should be tactical and involve reviews by multiple team members.
- Improve code quality by focusing on creating clear solutions rather than clever ones.
- Include automated tests as part of code reviews.
- Prioritize maintaining simple and minimalistic code as much as possible.
