Coding Standards & Best Practices

Writing code that is readable, maintainable, and testable.

Why Standards Matter

Code is read much more often than it is written. Standards ensure that a team can work cohesively, reducing cognitive load when context switching between modules.

Common Practices

  • DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself): Abstraction of common logic.
  • KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid): Avoid over-engineering.
  • YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It): Do not add functionality until it is necessary.
  • Clean Code: Meaningful naming, small functions, handling errors gracefully.
  • Code Reviews: A mechanism for knowledge sharing and quality assurance.
