The Most Important Thing I learned About Writing Readable Code

Well, first of all, it lets other people understand our code.

You have probably found yourself in a codebase before.

You read it and you are just like, "I don't understand what the hell is going on around here."

And the temptation is just to like jump in and rewrite everything.

But, being able to write code where people can really easily read it is something that other developers on your team will really appreciate.

And that is what often is the difference between them looking at you as a junior developer and a senior programmer.

Rooting for you,

Karl ⛹️
