How do I know if my code is bad?

Uncle Bob defines bad code as code that has the following attributes:

1. Rigidity. This refers to code being difficult to change.
2. Fragility.
3. Immobility.
4. Viscosity.

What makes code fragile?

In fragile code, if you change a small piece of code in a module, you break an entirely different feature in an entirely different module. If you often get customer tickets saying a feature is broken, whenever you push a fix for an entirely different use case, it might mean your code is fragile.

What is a fragile code?

This is really not what ‘fragile’ code means. Usually, it means: This code is hard to work on and it is likely to break if I do something to change it. This code may break in the future if the conditions in which it runs change.

Why comments are important in any code?

Commenting involves placing Human Readable Descriptions inside of computer programs detailing what the Code is doing. Proper use of commenting can make code maintenance much easier, as well as helping make finding bugs faster. Remember, well documented code is as important as correctly working code.

What are the challenges of coding?

• Trying to understand it all.
• Finding the time.
• The frustration.

What are the positives and negatives of algorithms verification?

“Algorithms make discrimination more efficient and sanitized. Positive impact will be increased profits for organizations able to avoid risk and costs. Negative impacts will be carried by all deemed by algorithms to be risky or less profitable.”

How do you know if your code is good?

Its a simple criteria, usually if code looks nice, with a good structured layout, making it easy to read or browse through then it probably means its good code. Though obviously it has to actually work too, though often i find messy unappealing looking code is usually were the bugs are.

How do you deal with people who don’t have coding skills?

The best way to go about this is to just ask them why they chose that way; be sure to sound interested in their reasoning, because that is what you need to attack, not their ability. A coding standard will definitely help, but if it were the answer to every software project then we’d all be sipping cocktails on our private islands in paradise.

Can you code a system that works?

While you can code a system that works, that dosen’t mean it’s right. I have a site I go to on a daily basis, actually.
