Writing Code That Fits in Your Brain: Heuristics and Techniques to Avoid Complexity and Ensure Sustainability

This article was originally published on bmf-tech.com.

Writing Code That Fits in Your Brain: Heuristics and Techniques to Avoid Complexity and Ensure Sustainability is a book I recently read.

From the title, I expected it to include cognitive science discussions reminiscent of Programmer's Brain, but that wasn't the case.

This book discusses practical practices for writing code that fits within your brain's memory.

Overall, there were many parts I resonated with based on my own experiences. The author seems to have a background not from a computer science department but has built a career as a software engineer, which gives a sense of experience cultivated in the field.

Regarding the content, it felt a bit fragmented.

The discussion on fractal architecture seemed a bit brief, so I would love to read a book by the author focused solely on fractal architecture.
