3 skills that make coding easier:
Organization - Recognizing and grouping related items
Naming - Describing things clearly, yet succinctly
Decomposition - Breaking big, hard problems down into little, easy problems.
When I started coding it was HARD. I struggled to hold it all in my head. Why? Because I wasn’t good at these 3 skills yet. I was trying to solve big, hard problems with long, complex, poorly named functions.
With these 3 skills, coding is less stressful and far more rewarding.
Today, when I’m working with code that’s hard to read or maintain, it’s typically a problem with one of these three things.
When organization, naming, and decomposition are right, the code is typically a pleasure to read and maintain.
