Bugs cannot be found. ๐ค However, the compiler can point out warnings and errors.
Not even AI can do that yet. ๐ค๐
The feeling though...
We already know this one is gonna win.
at least i made a new progress

Bye have a great time ๐
I joined a company as a Dev in 2000. They said the previous dev had left because he was overwhelmed with the C++ code he was writing which used COM to speak to a hardware device.
They told me, he left in a hurry and told everyone "do not contact me".
I was afraid to look at the code.
Then I dug in and I discovered the most beautiful code I'd ever seen.
It was self-explanatory code & I learned new techniques. It was amazing.
I didn't have to do much and I got the code working.
That developer had been on a 1000 mile journey and gave up inches away from success. Still blows my mind.
and even after all these years, I remember that code as some of the best I've ever seen to this day.
I've been writing code for a year and a few months now, I wouldn't say I'm an experienced dev, but I've been a massive advocate for clean code since the beginning, I always make sure to keep things as readable, simple and self explained as humanly possible. so many friends would reach out to me and ask me "what topics should I learn? What advanced things should I be aware of?", I always stress the usefulness of good, clean code, but it seems so many people just don't appreciate it.
I decided to collaborate with an intermediate friend of mine, and I emphasized so much on the importance of highly readable code, cuz most of it was reusable in future projects, and after all that, I got a bunch of messed up code, nonsensical variable names and apparent inconsistencies in naming conventions. Even tho I had spent more time explaining and busting the benefit of all of it , I ended up spending a day and a half refactoring and cleaning most of the code, and even re implementing things again from scratch ๐ฎโ๐จ
