Always code as if the person who ends up maintaining your code is a violent psychopath who knows where you live. This joke in the tech community underlines the importance of writing your code as if someone else, with potentially less context than you, has to understand and work with it in the future. Aim for clarity and maintainability from the start by considering how your code will be read and used by others. Writing clean and maintainable code is about adopting practices that improve not just the code itself, but the process and collaboration around building software. These principles apply universally, regardless of gender or background, and are fundamental for anyone looking to excel in the tech industry.
