Code Debt
- "Code Debt" (aka "Technical Debt") is when a program becomes harder and harder to change over time
- It happens to all code and all programmers
- If you do not correct it, your project and life will suffer
- Be ruthless about removing Code Debt
Make it Work
- Start writing a new feature without worrying about duplication or beauty
- Focus on just the logic of the new code
- Commit to Git early and often to track your changes
Simple Debugging
console.log("some value to log")console.log({someVariableToLog})console.error('Some message when things go wrong')
Make it Clean
- Fix functions that depend on or produce global variables
- Fix functions or lines which duplicate behavior
- Separate functions that do many things into more functions
- Read "Refactoring" by Martin Fowler
