Coding Best Practices

The Linting Conundrum: When Good Intentions Go Too Far As developers, we’ve all been there: staring at our code, nitpicking every detail, and obsessing over the perfect formatting. Linting tools have become an integral part of our development workflow, helping us catch syntax errors, enforce coding standards, and maintain code readability. However, there’s a fine line between using linting tools effectively and letting them consume our every waking moment. The Benefits of Linting Before we dive into the pitfalls, let’s acknowledge the benefits of linting....

Загадка Линтинга: Когда Хорошие Намерения Уходят Всторону Как разработчики, мы все были там: сидим перед кодом, выискиваем каждую мелочь и одержимы идеальным форматированием. Инструменты линтинга стали неотъемлемой частью нашего рабочего процесса, помогая нам обнаруживать ошибки синтаксиса, соблюдать стандарты кодирования и поддерживать читаемость кода. Однако существует тонкая граница между эффективным использованием инструментов линтинга и тем, чтобы они поглощали каждый наш бодрствующий момент. Преимущества Линтинга Прежде чем углубиться в недостатки, давайте признаем преимущества линтинга....

The Eternal Struggle of Naming Things In the vast and wondrous world of computer science, there exist a few problems that stand out as particularly vexing. Among these, two have earned a special place in the hearts (and frustrations) of developers everywhere: cache invalidation and naming things. This article delves into the latter, exploring why naming things is such a monumental task and offering practical advice on how to tackle it....

It sounds like a dream come true—less code to write, fewer bugs to fix, and faster development cycles. However, this dream often turns into a nightmare, and it’s time to confront the fallacy of “code reuse at all costs....
