Episode 7: Is clean code worth it?

2020-03-16
Download

Rocket developers Brandon Aaskov, Dave Oelfke, Simon Ingeson, and Matt Merrill dive into the topic of clean code. When is it worth it? When is it unnecessary? Will it get you in trouble with your teammates? We also share some practical tips for walking the line between "You ain't gonna need it" and when it's worth it to spend that extra 20 minutes cleaning up code.  This podcast was inspired by the article "Goodbye Clean Code" by Dan Abramov which ignited a lot of talk in the Rocket Insights engineering slack channels!

Detailed Notes:

  • 00:00 - Intros
  • 03:20 - Human readability is the most important thing. Are there any hard and fast rules? Cyclomatic complexity is a fancy word that's discussed
  • 06:00 - It's hard to break out of a bad abstraction. It's hard to predict the future
  • 11:00 - There's nothing more permanent than temporary
  • 12:15 - Spreading out your code over lots of folders is probably not a great idea
  • 14:30 - Flexing your muscles... Unnecessarily?
  • 15:26 - A word from our sponsor
  • 16:30 - Wait for the pain
  • 19:30 - Give yourself flexibility for the future, but don't implement it right away
  • 20:40 - How did we get to this point? A little history. Memory management wasn't always done for us
  • 27:00 - There are no hard and fast rules. Be an adult
  • 29:45 - The golden hour rule. Readme's are important
  • 37:45 - Back to what makes code readable
  • 41:00 - Testability. Using tests to learn about existing codebases
  • 45:00 - File driven development
  • 46:30 - Why refactor?
  • 51:15 - The good samaritan rule
  • 51:50 - Picks:
    • Matt - HBO Silicon Valley Season Six
    • Simon - 1917 (the movie) 
    • Dave - Nest.js
    • Brandon - Master Class
