Programming is the art of solving any problem. As programmers, when we have a new problem, we get excited.

And that is OKAY because we are programmers. We love writing code initially. However, getting too excited about writing code makes us blind. It causes us to ignore some important facts that can cause bigger problems we will have to deal with in the future.

CODE IS OUR ENEMY

“Code is bad. It rots. It requires periodic maintenance. It has bugs that need to be found. New features mean the old code has to be adapted.”

It’s so valid, would it say it isn’t? The programmers who motivate you with their efficiency and coding mindset are the individuals who realize when to state no and when not to code. The software that is easy to maintain, that lasts long and keeps helping their client is the one that doesn’t contain any unnecessary code lines.
