10 principles detailed in these article :\nEnjoy ☀️\n\n10 Good Coding Principles:\n\nFollow Code Specifications: Adhere to established norms like PEP 8 or Google Java Style for consistent and readable code.\nDocumentation and Comments: Document and comment code clearly, focusing on explaining the “why” behind code logic.\nRobustness: Ensure code can handle unexpected inputs without crashing.\nSOLID Principles: Emphasize principles like Single Responsibility and Dependency Inversion for scalable and maintainable code.\nMake Testing Easy: Support automated testing and reduce component complexity.\nAbstraction: Hide complexity through abstraction for more flexible and maintainable code.\nUtilize Design Patterns: Apply design patterns appropriately without over-designing.\nReduce Global Dependencies: Avoid global variables and instances, favoring localized state and parameter passing.\nContinuous Refactoring: Regularly update and refactor code to reduce technical debt.\nSecurity: Prioritize avoiding common security vulnerabilities.","datePublished":"2024-02-04T10:24:12.924Z","dateModified":"2024-02-04T10:24:55.218Z","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/oX1jTWJVt#c-z0eX794CB","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Pararise","url":"https://daily.dev/pararise","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--JBHBVPZJ--/f_auto,q_auto/v1702024732/avatars/avatar_2GaAzm5zBKLbhQNvc2Xqs"},"interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":65}},{"@type":"Comment","text":"I
