Within the next few days Five Lines of Code will be sent to the printers, and it is looking great! The book describes a novel approach to learning about code quality and refactoring, focusing on minimizing cognitive overhead. Check it out mng.bz/7lvg #refactoring

Five Lines of Code Embrace disciplined approach outlined through ten key rules for writing concise, readable, & maintainable code. Focus on simplicity, clear abstraction, & thoughtful naming to elevate code quality #engineering #refactoring @thedrlambda dev.to/dev3l/refining…

@r0bnet @RandomSort That is my best suggestion off the top of my head. Feel free to add more, if there is something I am overlooking 😊

@r0bnet @RandomSort * 'five lines' should be 'five meaningful lines' ie. excluding the return check ifs. * 'if only at the start' becomes 'logical decisions only at the start' * Add a rule about not accessing mutable fields of a non-receiver argument -- to enforce encapsulation.

@thedrlambda I'm currently reading your book 'Five lines of code' and so far I'm enjoying it. Right now I'm writing most of my code in Go and I'm wondering how much of the rules can be applied one-to-one (I know Go is no OO lang). Pretty sure that the rule with ifs at the

If you're looking for a new job, don't simply tell your interviewer: - "I've been a software engineer for 3 years" You should measure your own experience in qualitative terms. Not number of years. Try these ideas instead:

In #software, less is more. @thedrlambda spoke to @KevlinHenney about #refactoring focused on concrete rules and getting any method down to five lines or less. Improve code readability & testability while identifying performance bottlenecks 🎙️Tune in: gotopia.tech/podcast

I had a chance to spend an hour with one of my greatest idols @KevlinHenney. I had such a great time and we discussed really interesting topics!

#Refactoring is one of the most common tasks you’ll face. But you can apply rules without relying on code smells @thedrlambda spoke to @KevlinHenney about when you should refactor code & what patterns to apply to what problem 📚 Full ep out on June 22 youtu.be/zNVM1rmuOyg?li…

This week’s Commoncog essay is a deep dive into the cursed question: “what do you do in business when you can’t predict the outcomes of your actions?” But let’s set this up …

Recently, I was asked to recommend 5 programming books, and after a lot of reflection I came up with these: shepherd.com/best-books/rea…

Working with a legacy system is still one of the most challenging problems for companies and devs, draining time and money. @thedrlambda spoke to @mfeathers about solving real-life problems with the help of clean code. 📚 New #GOTObookclub ep out now! youtu.be/P_6eDL1aqtA?li…

Dev teams often struggle with basic software hygiene like #refactoring and testing. Hear author of 'Five Lines of Code' @thedrlambda go through a simple, systematic and iterative approach to refactoring to help you get your technical debt under control. youtu.be/APdaacGmDew?li…

Ok, can GPT-4 *actually* write code? I tested it a bunch with some real-world examples and constructed "simple but hard" problems. tylerglaiel.substack.com/p/can-gpt-4-ac…

Absolute pleasure to talk with @julian_wood about code quality and software architecture

I still love this quote: "If an idea is good and it turns out to be true somebody else will have done it. If an idea is stupid you have a chance that nobody else is dumb enough to try it. Then if it happens to work you really have something!" -- @KentBeck

Get ready for an on-site #GOTOnight with @thedrlambda, author of “Five Lines of a Code” on January 17. Learn a simple, systematic and iterative approach to #refactoring, that will help you start getting your technical debt under control. Save your spot! gotopia.tech/events/139/-fi…
