How... as a message to those who are struggling with their projects, their careers, or their development in the world of technology and coding. How do you know if you're on the right path? How do you know if the work you're doing is worth the struggle? How do you know if the software you're building, or the code you're writing, is genuinely improving you and the world around you, rather than just being a distraction, or worse, a waste of time?Well, that's a big question, isn't it? It's easy to get lost in the weeds. In fact, the whole world of software development can feel like an increasingly perilous minefield of new technologies, frameworks, and conflicting best practices. Every day, you're being pulled in different directions... what's "cool," what's trending, what's the new buzzword. And in all that, what you might forget is that you're supposed to be solving real problems, not just building more complexity for the sake of complexity.So, how do you know if you're on the right path? How do you know if you're actually improving your code, or just spinning your wheels in endless refactoring, chasing the ideal without ever quite getting there?The answer, my friend, is this: clean your code.
>>107550075It's that simple. No, seriously. It's the first step. You have to start by looking at the mess you've created, whether it's in a codebase that's a mess of spaghetti logic or a project that's full of shortcuts and hacks. You can't just keep adding features or pushing out updates without fixing what's already broken. You can't keep putting your energy into building something new while your old codebase is a horror show.Start by cleaning up your code. Refactor the parts that are confusing, convoluted, or downright unreadable. Don't just add new features on top of an existing mess. Don't just "fix" bugs without addressing the underlying structure of your code. If you don't take care of the foundations, your whole system will collapse, no matter how many shiny new features you add.And that goes beyond just the technical part. You need to examine your processes, too. Organize your development environment. Make sure your time is scheduled. It's one thing to write code... anyone can write code. But it takes real discipline to sit down, focus, and commit to making every part of your project better. Start with the small things... remove the duplicated code, eliminate the cruft, reduce complexity where you can, simplify. Take the time to do things right, even if that means stepping back and refactoring. Don't take shortcuts just to get something out quickly, because that will hurt you in the long run.Then there's this: stop using poor programming practices. Pay attention to what you're doing. Are you writing tests? Are you making assumptions that could easily break down in the future? Are you using the right tools for the job, or are you trying to force something that doesn't fit because it's easier in the short term?
>>107550093You might think this is all small stuff, but it's not. It's the difference between a program that's functional and one that's robust, reliable, and sustainable.The truth is, cleaning your code is not an optional step in this journey. It's not something that can be skipped. And don't think for a second that you can build your project on top of poor code and hope that it works in the end. It's like trying to build a mansion on a foundation made of sand. It might look okay for a while, but it'll inevitably crumble when the first real storm hits.And here's another idea: stop writing code that makes you feel weak. I don't mean "weak" in some metaphorical sense... I mean, weak in the sense that you know deep down, this code isn't up to your standards. It's incomplete, rushed, or poorly thought out. You can feel it in your gut, even if you don't want to admit it. And that feeling of weakness is a signal. It's the same thing Carl Rogers talked about when he referred to integrity... it's that sense of wholeness when you do something right, and the disintegration you feel when you're cutting corners.If you want to get better as a programmer, you have to take responsibility for the quality of your code. Every line you write is an externalization of your mind, of your discipline, of your integrity. Your codebase is you. And if your code is sloppy, if it's messy and hard to follow, then what does that say about you?

>>107550112You need to stop writing code that makes you feel weak. Stop making excuses for writing dirty code. Stop thinking that "it's good enough" because it's working right now. It might be working today, but you know it won't work in the long run.It's hard, I know. It takes time, and it's not always fun. But you can't avoid it. Just like cleaning your room, cleaning your code is a foundational practice. Start small. Start by refactoring just one module, or cleaning up one section of your project. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be better than it was.And here's the thing... once you start, you'll see results. I've had developers come up to me and say, "I started cleaning up my codebase, and it changed my entire perspective."You might think that's a small thing, but it's not. It's huge. When you start to clean your code, you'll start to see your development process, your skills, and your mindset change for the better.So, clean your code. Start with the small things, and work your way up. And soon enough, you'll find that you're not just writing better software. You're becoming a better developer.

>>107550120The fact that people think he is the biggest thinker of the century baffles me.

I came to terms with the idea that every job I've ever done is just about me getting money.
does cleaning your code include nuking yourself with benzos?
