Code Perfection

As a developer, your goal in coding shouldn’t be to make everything perfect – that’s a fool’s errand. When opening up an existing codebase, you should instead strive to:

• leave things better than you found them
• lead by example with your own code additions

For the lucky few starting from scratch, just know that there will inevitably be code that you wrote with the best of intentions that will just be back-asswards a few weeks/months/years down the road. The funny thing is that you may not even realize it’s your own work until you do a comparison of the commit(s). 😀
