To write code, like a boss
Tab key is your friend Indentation increases the readability of your code. Its quick to understand the beginning and end of loops, while revisiting the lines, if your code is properly indented.
use _ (underscore) to make long variables names more readable The variables are the blood veins for your code. Do not take names of your variables for-granted, they should clearly express their role, wherever and whenever used.
user_generated_last_yield() is better than u_g_l_y() Abbreviations create confusions. DO NOT use abbreviations for your method/function or variable names. Its better to write
Dont call it a function if it has hundreds of lines of code Functions and methods are meant to make your code modular, do not write lump of lines it and make it complex.
Dont let your variables survive like orphans Always assign a default value to your variables and function arguments. A value less variable is always more dangerous than you think.
Sometimes a single clue or a hint can solve a huge puzzle in seconds Comments help you when you are lost. When you write a code of thousand lines, its difficult to recall the strategy when you go back to line 1.
Destroy/flush the variables when you are done with them, to reuse Yes they dont cost you, but it doesnt mean you can use hundreds of them together in a single scope. Too many variables create a mess.
You should be able to understand It, just while going through it Use a good code-editor, apply proper line breaks, avoid un-necessary whitespace as they will increase the scroll length.
Simple code is always simple to code
