A messy coding environment is like a messy kitchen
A messy coding environment is like a messy kitchen. The mess makes it hard to do good work.
Examples:
🚫 Unused files
🚫 Failing tests
🚫 Misspelled words
🚫 Commented out code
🚫 Lint warnings and errors
🚫 No consistent naming conventions
🚫 Console filled with warnings/errors
🚫 No clear organizational structure for files and folders
These things add noise and slow progress.
