The Code Diet

Type: article
Abstract: Writing beautifully clear and efficient code is an art. Learning and developing skills and tricks to handle unforseen situations to get a 'feel' for the code and be able to identify and fix problems in a moments notice does not happen overnight. With software development experience really does count. This article introduces the reader to numerous engineering insights into writing better code. Better in the context of cleaner, more readable, robust, and computationally efficient. Analogous to the 20:80 principle. In practice, you can spend 20% of your time writing code, while the other 80% is editing and refining your code to be better. You have to work hard to get coding muscles. Lazy coding ultimately leads to unhealthy, inflexible, overweight code.
