The document discusses how to protect code from a destructive client influence. It recommends (1) correctly communicating with the client and planning for refactoring time, (2) introducing rules like SOLID for code creation, and (3) performing code reviews by outsiders and using PHP tools like Mess Detector and Code Sniffer. The goal is to maintain responsibility for the code quality and prevent a good start from leading to a bad finish due to changes.

How to protect your code against a destructive influence of client | Codesushi - Rzeszow 2017
1. How to protect your code
against a destructive influence of client
Chris Ozog - Codesushi CTO
2. Agenda:
A bit about me...
No code is written with the idea that it will be bad
Is there a pilot on the plane? Who is writing the code, you or the client?
And what now? So a thing or two about proper communication and a
clear message!
A soft way the correct mindset
A hard way the tools which will help us to do it
Rome wasnt built in a day! The time for refactoring is the most
valuable time
Summary
3. A bit about me...
Creator of web apps for more than a decade
now
Addicted to clean code
Technical leader at Codesushi
A passionate CodeReviewer
A Philosopher and Developer in one
Whats worse, is that its documented by two diplomas
4. No code is written with the
idea that it will be bad
A good start to a bad finish
Changes
Changes for changes
Changes for changes, for changes
5. Who is writing the code, you or the client?
You are writing the code and not the client!
At some point we make the first mistake
negligence
And then it goes downhill
6. And what now? So a thing or two about proper
communication and a clear message!
Despair and pointing the finger!
But can it be done differently?
Two ways, a soft one and a hard one?!
7. The soft way when the client
constantly changes his mind
A headstrong programmer and a cursed PM
Thats not the right way
The golden mean
Trilateral discussions: the client - PM - dev team
Planning should include refactoring
The semi-hard way
SOLID code
Code review best performed by someone from outside the team
8. The hard way so the tools which
will help us to do it
PHP Code sniffer
PHP Mess detector
9. Summary:
Usually, we are the ones responsible for a bad code
In order to efficiently prevent a bad code:
Correctly communicate with the client
Predict the time needed for refactoring
Introduce clear rules for creating software, like for example SOLID
Code Review should be performed by someone from outside the
project
Implement the PHP Mess detector and PHP Code Sniffer tools
10. Thank you for your
attention :)
