Building a newbie-friendly codebase

Pedro Santos suggests:

  1. Using naming conventions such that you can learn them once and apply them everywhere
  2. Unidirectional data flows. Make it easy to follow the app flow.
  3. No magic numbers. I’d add they are even worse in CSS as it’s both the confusion they cause and how they are often tied to awkward or incorrect assumptions.
  4. Using data structures. Like state machines.
  5. Testing everything
  6. Good code > good comments
  7. Avoiding acronyms
  8. Refactoring opportunistically
