It's never a good sign when a team lead writes code like this

The good spaghetti code stuff

Wholesome anti-rant.

There’s this Indian chick at work that I really, really do not get along with. Fortunately she’s on a different team so we have practically zero interactions. Her code was always decent, maybe upper junior level? but I went away fuming almost every time we talked.

However, I did a release security review today (I’m down from five/six per month to one) and read through quite a bit of her code. It was clean and easy to read with good separation, clear naming and intentions, nothing was confusing, etc. It was almost beautiful. Had I any emotions I might have shed a tear. I sent her a message and let her know :) I actually learned a better way of doing a couple of things from it.

She has grown so much as a dev.

The secret of a good code ?
The right cup size.

If nobody has told you today, your code is looking good ❤️

One of the coolest good bye message I have ever seen in my company...

The code is so clean with proper comments...

It took me a good 20 minutes to realize why my Python code wasn't working. Then it hit me.

Call Apple support, give them a Windows error code.

Good times.

A good programmer can get more done than 10 bad programmers, but a bad programmer's code can keep 10 good programmers busy for years.

Wrote some code during the break that transform an image to the following styles, is it good enough to post on github?

A wise man once said.. Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

How to write a good Code

1. You will write ugly code. Code that is in dire need of refactoring almost immediately.

2. You will write brilliant code. Functions and algorithms that will impress all that use them.

3. 1 & 2 are not mutually exclusive. Good software can be written poorly, beautifully written code can be useless. At the end of the day, just get the job done.

good code > bad code + good comments 🤔

Note: I don’t actually believe this to be good advice.

Removed 1500+ lines of code today. It felt good

Since git, sometimes I drink and code until I pass out

Today I woke up with good working code that I don’t even remember writing

I just signed a new job contract, good offer, hope they care more about the code produced

Visual Studio 2017rc is so good that I'm beginning to hate 2015.
code preview, installation speed, startup without hiccups.
EVERYTHING IS SO FRIGGIN SMOOTH IMMA CRY.

Nothing makes me realize what a crap programmer I am like reading a good programmer’s code

When they insist you comment your code and you know what you did, but; you're a Good guy.

Stop bitching about having to write comments, they are important whether you like it or not. Trust me nobodys code is "that good" 😒

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

So far, this is my inspiration to refactoring the code right after it works as gift to my future self.

I hate Microsoft!

But i gotta say, VS Code is a really good IDE. Guess they should've gone open source a long time ago

My computer science teacher is very sly: while you are working he stands right behind you for some time, so you start writing good code, functions for everything, perfect indentation... But you don't know if he is still behind you, and you're not brave enough to look back, so you write good code for the rest of the lesson.
What a good prof

Comment the "why", not the "what". If your code needs comments to explain what it does, rewrite the code (use good, descriptive identifiers).

Shared by codechef on their Facebook page. Not sure who the original author.

But it sure does make a pretty good header for your code. ;)

#DontMessWithMyCode

The moment your code is so good that there is no lint error,

intentionally modify the code to have some warning to check if linter is working.

lol

It's great to hear the boss telling someone that your code "saves time" and "makes things easier to do".

Write good code people. It pays.

This is how you know you write good code

Just my $.02:

One thing I think a lot of students/schools miss when learning/teaching, is that your code has to be *maintainable*. Your code is (hopefully) going to be used for a long time, so program it to make it not only easy to upgrade and maintain, but easy for SOMEONE ELSE to upgrade and maintain, too.

The best code to work with is the stuff that's been coded with maintainability in mind.

Bought a 27" 1080p monitor and decided to use my old monitor besides it in portrait mode. This feels so good, portrait monitor's good for reading tutorials or for writing code. My coolest setup so far!

This happens to me all the time at my new company, the amount of wtfs I say in some js files, man...

It was 1999. I was just starting my first real job as a programmer for a major insurance company. We were working on code that would screen scrape legacy mainframe data output and convert it to a web-based UI. REALLY stupid project approach I had no input on. I happened to find a programmer in Germany who had released his code in the public domain that would help with making a certain conversion task easier. I downloaded his code and put it to work.

During a code review, a programmer who was probably about 60 asked me where I got the code and what it was doing. I didn't even get to the part about what it was doing because he made fun of me so badly, in a fake German accent in front of a room full of non-programmers, for using code that today is no big deal due to the prevalence of open source. I just clammed up in humiliation because he got everyone laughing at me. His philosophy was if we didn't buy it or write it ourselves, we had no business using it.

I guess I was just ahead of my time?

Just wrote code on a napkin and honestly I’m feeling good about it.

Handwritting fonts bring back warm memories of that one time in school where they said we should write some delphi code with a pen. Good times

Is good code the same as clean code?

Clean code is hard to follow all the way through

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

It’s simple.
coffee —> code
tea —> good code
hot chocolate —> great code !

I write blocks of code like this:
If(condition){
code
}

I'm trying to fix a bug and the previous dev is doing it like this:
If(condition)

Does anyone know any good nerve calming pill ? 😜

Java is a pretty good language, as long as no one uses it to write code

My colleague unknowingly uses the word "paralyze" for "parallelize". When is the good time to correctly him? So far he has successfully paralyzed my code.

You call that code?
Let me print it and wipe my ass with it, because that’s all it’s good for.

I wish my code could smile back at me and tell me I'm doing a good job

How to write good clean code

Just spent writing code for 5 hours for my clg presentation!!

Never have I learnt more in one night about what I like!!!

Good night. Devs....

WHY WRITE GOOD CODE WHEN YOU CAN HAVE TECHNICAL DEBT?

Hahaaaa Whatsapp source code says "FUCK APPLE" every where. Good job!

That good feeling when you finally debug your code and it runs like a charm. 👌🦄😊

the good code you write today is the bad code you curse at tomorrow

Converting spaces to tabs made my file 10% smaller (5050 characters to 4500).

Either good argument against spaces or my code with compulsive indentation disorder.

Yesterday, a very good friend of mine who is a philosopher has given me a present: the book "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin.

This summer is going to be very good. I'm very greatful.

Feels so good when your PR gets merged

A good code shouldn't look like this huh?

That moment when you as a junior developer is trying to write good, maintainable code and a more senior developer stops by and says "It's too late to start adding good code. I'll help you quick fix it".

Visual Code because it's good

Why do I have no problems writing code and designing databases, but draw a complete blank when trying to come up with a good database username for the code to use?

Ever find when you're working on a personal project that you spend more time trying to think of good names for classes than actually writing code?

One sentence to fail almost any coder or related job interview:
"my code is so good, sometimes even I can't comprehend it."

Well I’ve decided to create this... the code still shit though, when its good i’ll put it in devRants collab

Not adding spaces in for statements.

}

ex) good practice
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)

Once you've been writing code for so long, being excited writing code can go away. I still find that I get the rush when working with a new language or technology. It feels good to be a beginner again 🙂

Cheers y'all!! Hope your weekend was good and tomorrow you crank out awesome code, so the CEO can finally buy a yacht.

"Writing good code is a charity". ( - saves time, effort, mental-health, & career of next developer).

it's not always about good code. sometimes all they need is a program that "works" asap !

VS Code. By far. It's a testament to how good it is that I'd actually use a Microsoft product.

“Good” code often times comes down to naming and organizing things well.

I got Clean Code for Christmas, it is such a good book. I can't recommend it more.

Shit recruiters say:
"We need solution experts, not language experts, because a language is just a tool."

Well then, good luck with your spaghetti code solution.

This is a good Experience -

I used to go to a class to learn C++(was a kid back then).

One of the sir there told me -
"Anybody can write code,just knowing coding is not enough,idea is more important.You should have good ideas and solutions,you can alaways find people to code for you"

This has stuck with me till this day.

because writing over 500 lines of java code using swing framework on a piece of paper with a pen is a perfectly good and healthy way to learn how to write code

Finding code like this makes me feel good about my code 😅

It’s amazing how Italian University doesn’t teach you anything. 3 years of college and no one ever showed me examples of code or how to write good code.

Java's garbage collector is so bad that if it was good it would have collected all of my code!!

Me in next code review : It is not aesthetically pleasing, but it gets the job done.

Currently writing code to write math.

What I'm saying is, I make nerds look good.

When people says you are good in programming they mean you will clear the exam easily.
But they don't know there is a art of writing code.
And if you stuck in the code then there is a art of debugging the code.

Who knows the both is a good programmer.

Had to look into some old code today and had the "Is this my code?! This can't be my code!? No one else worked on this code, so it must be mine... But, but, it's so... good! And clean! And logical! And well documented! This can't be mine... Can it!? Hey! It works!" moment.

There's nothing more horrifying than seeing the code made by Java Swing. Good luck trying to find label1X5zPotato and what it does.

I just hate it when a co-worker says "AS LONG AS IT WORKS. It doesn't matter how you code it as long as it outputs what the client/user wants. They don't check how you code it anyway" *facepalm*

We effin' follow standards so that it will be convenient for everybody!

Bad code is still bad code if you don't follow standards even if it works.

But am still confused, is it ok in terms of good design.
Reusing existing code.

// 2011-05-13 - no idea why we're doing this, revise later

Wow thanks, take your time.

The good code.

Writing a shitty code and then debugging it quickly doesn't make you a good developer.

(I guess the Question category is the best for this)

Do you believe that someone can be a good dev even if they write shit code?

I personally do, if that person acknowledges the fact that their code is shit, wants to improve it, is humble, is always in the search for constructive, etc as in to make their code better and more readable, I'd think they are a pretty good dev.

That feeling when you view your older projects and see how distorted your code was, how much boilerplate code, realize how stupid you were.

Good to see how times have changed.

Dear fucking good why must I code in VBA in 2017 when there's a perfectly good (and better) alternative?!

I'm considering just porting the fucking code and hang it off.

Code quality as measured in WTFs/minute.

delete unused code according to IDE

unit with context tests now fail

what is a good alternative industry or career instead of software development

"Ha you commented your code that nobody is going to read! That's funny dude good humor!"

If good coding practice is funny then I'm in good standing.

If I had to audit my current code I'd definitly stick a cactus up my arse shouting in the mirror:

ALL YOUR CODE IS GOOD FOR IS ULTIMATE DELETION. YOU FILTHY MAGGOT! LEARN TO CODE... *rage quit*

Really, coding shit because of spare time simply makes me ripping my face of 💀

All devs know good code when they see one.

You know it's been a good day's work, when you look at the code you've written and part of u just feels like touching yourself.

*opens the code of an old project still running today*
*see the horror spaghetti code*
*decide to modernize it with good code and practices learned by the years*
*can fucking decide where to start *
*réalise it is impossible *
*rewrite it from scratch in a few hours*
*be proud*

It's really rewarding to go back to old projects and give them a good hug. You réalise then you really got better

My current boss and soon to be on-site boss marked me as 'God of Code'.

PHPStorm is soo good! I like the integrated VCS, DB and Terminal (except the ugly cursor block). Also I like the powerful code autocompletion + material theme

But I will not ditch VS Code :)

Show 10 lines of code to a dev.

Dev: It could be improved here and there, it can be optimized way better etc.

Show 5000 lines of code to dev.

Dev: Looks good!

(Or someone other but probably me)

I find that open-sourcing my project is a way better motivation to write good, clean code, than pool parties for hitting the gym :)

I hope I'm not alone getting the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you write some code that is beautiful. I know beautiful is a strange choice of words but I find the efficient simplicity of good code to be beautiful!

I think VS code is the only product from Microsoft which is not broken like I'm writing in it and it feels good. Extensions are great, integration with git is also really good and debuger isn't complete bullshit. I had Sublime before but I switched it to VS code just to try it and I'm keeping it.

I know it isn't lightweight like other editors but fuck it... VS code is great

Getting to know Vim Editor for university. Do you think switching from visual studio code to Vim is a good method for learning? Do you know any good Vim courses?

Good Idea: Code Reviews

Bad Idea: Code Reviews before your first sip of coffee.

You know what feels good?

When you take a peek inside a class that you wrote 6 months ago that performs a vital, but complex function, that you've been using (and taking for granted) on a daily basis, and it's the first time you ever have to debug in there, and when you do, there was actually nothing you had to change and it was clear as fuck what it was doing.

That's a good feeling.

I always stalk my code if it runs perfectly. I wonder that *Did I write this code?*

I think I'm a good developer. I have pretty decent debugging skills, including pulling apart disassembled x86 and other architecture code.

I'm fascinated by how things work.

But almost everything is catered for by a library. Or has already been done.

I find it enjoyable to create a library or program myself, but get disheartened when I find some library or program that is written seemingly very well, compared to my own code. And then I start to think I'm not a good developer after all.

Sort of relates to my previous rant about repeatedly rewriting code.

Applies to me doing programming as a hobby but probably affects my code at work as well... I just can't help but think my code is probably awful compared to what someone else might write.

...then I see incredibly ugly, messy, badly written code by other people and I feel better...

I suppose it is like an artist who sees amazing works but cannot paint to that standard, but is well beyond drawing stick figures with crayons.

Sounds like a trivial problem but it probably impedes my progress with a lot of things.

Title: The problem with "good enough" code

Body:

I'm a software developer, and I've seen my fair share of "good enough" code. You know the kind of code I'm talking about: it works, but it's not pretty, and it's not very maintainable.

The problem with "good enough" code is that it's a slippery slope. Once you start writing "good enough" code, it's easy to fall into the trap of always taking the easy way out.

Before you know it, your code is a mess of hacks and workarounds. It's hard to understand, it's hard to maintain, and it's a nightmare to debug.

I've seen projects go down in flames because of "good enough" code. The code was so bad that it was impossible to fix, and the project had to be scrapped.

I'm not saying that you should never write "good enough" code. Sometimes, you just need to get something working, and you don't have the time or resources to do it perfectly.

But if you're going to write "good enough" code, you need to be aware of the risks. And you need to make sure that you're only writing "good enough" code for a short period of time.

Once you have a working prototype, you need to start refactoring your code and making it better. You need to make it more readable, more maintainable, and more testable.

If you don't, you'll eventually regret it. Your code will become a liability, and it will hold you back.

So next time you're tempted to write "good enough" code, think twice. It might save you some time in the short term, but it will cost you in the long run.

Good code is like a good video game. When you read it first time, it feels like magic, and you feel like it does more than it actually can.

me giving advice to beginners: don't feel bad about your code. as long as it gets the job done, it's good

also me: don't look at my code. it's terrible!

Hey guys, need an opinion.
Please have a look at the picture and let me know if it's a good practice to code like that. The code still works and I still get the output.

You cant be a recognzied as a good developer, untill you are a good tester or say produce least bug free code. You should do thorough testing of your code before handing over to QA. I lacked the skill of good unit testing, so have suffered alot in past years.

Looking back on old code is embarrassing... I suppose that's a good sign

when CodeClimate reports it 2.0 GPA but your colleagues says it's good code-wise and styling wise...

turns out I didn't have the YAML override

- Code reviews are good for you
- learn and understand your tools
- ask and listen
- if someone writes code for you, delete it and build it again yourself

When your mostly done code that you spent time on documenting and keeping clean gets handed over to the sloppiest dev on the team. Because that dev is out of tasks and you got other work that moved up in priority. I really hope he doesn't ruin everything :(

you know it's a good day when you copied that funky looking code you wrote, copy pasted in current project and IT JUST WORKS!

Feeling good, code compiled but failed tests :(

PHP code that didn't use sanitize, but manually checked if strings contained ' or ". Not even in a function, but manually implemented whenever the person writing that burning dumpsterfire thought it was a good idea to check for that.

I started taking programming seriously when I got to 9th grade. 3 years isn't enough time. Probably enough to be able to put out okay-ish code in a scripting language, but not good code.

There is a period in developer's life when writing comments in your code is a good idea. Then, after some time, when you write comments, it means your code is not that descriptive, is not so good that you consider writing comments.

Writes good code because "Good code is it's own documentation"

Ends up documenting someone else's code. :(

Good code does not exist
