Ask HN: What Is Readable Code?
4 by philosopher1234 | 4 comments on Hacker News.
“DRY code is readable” “no WET code is readable” “Go is readable” “no Go is verbose” What makes code readable? I feel like this word is borderline synonymous with “I like this thing”. We all know code is read more than written, so readability matters, but does anyone actually know what makes it easier to read and understand?
