Writing good code is an investment

If you would like to see my code and learn about my programming practices I highly recommend looking at my Github repository.

During my programming journey I have learned very quickly that keeping the code clean is crucial and now I put a lot of thinking how I structure my code. I try to keep things as simple as possible as I know that over-engineering is just a very bad idea and programming project is not a place for showing off.

My goal is always to deliver business value but in the same time keep the code tidy and in high quality.

Principles I value the most:

• Good folder structure

• Refactoring the code when needed (even multiple times)

• Multiple README files across the project tree

• Monorepos (simple, works almost out of the box, little overhead)

• Following the Twelve-Factor App methodology

• Following SOLID design principles

• Using design patterns

• Keeping my code very DRY

• Using popular and great technologies

• Using linters (flake8, mypy, isort)

• Using static typing (type hinting)

• Using python for DevOps, using bash scripts only for simple cases

• Keeping CI scripts simple and making testing them easy on local development environment

• Making local development experience easy and seamless (keeps my and team mates morale high)

• Making local development environment as similar to staging and production as possible (easy with Kubernetes)

• Writing unit tests, integration tests and end to end tests, also running them on CI

• Rebasing over merging (keeps the git log clean and linear)
