Clean Code and Best Practices

After working in the industry for a while, I’ve learned that writing code is just the beginning. The real challenge is writing code that others can understand, maintain, and extend.

Key Principles

  1. Readability over Cleverness: Code is read more often than it’s written
  2. DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself): But know when to break this rule
  3. Single Responsibility: Each function should do one thing well
  4. Test-Driven Development: Write tests first, then code

Tools and Technologies

  • Languages: Python, JavaScript, Go
  • Frameworks: React, Django, FastAPI
  • Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB
  • Cloud: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes

The journey of becoming a better software engineer is continuous, and these principles have guided me through many projects.
