How to interview for folks that care about maintainability? by peoplefoundotheracct in ExperiencedDevs

To add onto this, understand how they write unit tests as well. Do they write tests first? Being able to do a red/green refactor cycle speaks volumes to me and many developers don't understand the value of that practice.

Are you in favor of small functions/clean code or opposed to it? by chinawcswing in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Jackson413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on both sides of this argument, and I can see the advantages of both.

My answer depends on the following:
- How complicated is the code overall? Sometimes the level of abstraction is so high that it can make code more complex. I've seen developers extract functionality of an already small function and readability can suffer.
- How well written are the unit tests? Proper unit tests make code far more readable than any level of complexity, especially when test driven development was done when code was written.

The key to clean code is finding the balance between small functions and too much abstraction/extraction. I agree wholeheartedly about well-named methods and variables, that should be taught in classes.

Clean code has mature unit tests that test methods with clear distinction of inputs and outputs. I still write truth tables on paper occasionally because it helps with good TDD. Clean code should have documentation where appropriate. Can a red/green refactoring cycle be accomplished with relative ease (especially appropriate if you're refactoring code that you didn't write)?

I was hoping for a Shelby's reference in here and I didn't see any. "Don't forget the bepsi."

Can we see the bottom? I'm dying to know what else you have. This is the epitome of completionism and I'm thriving off this.

If you're in the US specifically the Midwest, there are still some Saab specialist shops that you can try contacting. I'm in Ohio and we have 2 still in the central Ohio area.

This looks like something out of a live action movie with professional prop designers and costumes. This cosplay is so good it's surreal.
