Comment Only What the Code Cannot Say | by Kevlin Henney | Medium

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/08/13

Often after having taught a topic for decades, somebody rephrases it in a beautiful concise way:

[Wayback Comment Only What the Code Cannot Say | by Kevlin Henney | Medium

Clean Code is a team sport! – writeabout.net

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/28

Recommended read: [WayBack] Clean Code is a team sport! – writeabout.net.

The picture is of a developer journey taking years to go from fresh to seasoned ending up at exactly the same code: over time learning the sweet spot of coding.
