Coding Practices

"I should explain that clever is not always a good thing in programming. A clever solution often solves a problem in a manner that no one has before utilized. Sometimes a clever solution will get the job done in fewer lines (sometimes referred to as elegance) than another less clever solution. Many times, clever programmers fail to properly comment clever solutions, making them impossible to figure out unless you know the original programmer or spend some quality time with the code and a debugger. My first point, with regard to coding standards, is that if you want to be clever, you had better document what you did for the poor schmuck that follows after you."

É daqueles artigos que só são interessantes para nerds. Mas pronto, como ontem disse que não voltava a fazer posts sobre programação, fiz um!
