Clean Code Principles

Apply these principles when writing, reviewing, or refactoring code. They are organized from the most fundamental (naming) to code organization, formatting, and commenting best practices.

1. Naming & Readability

1.1 Avoid Disinformation

Never use variable names that create false expectations, contain misleading technical terms, or use visually confusing characters.

Do:

• Use names that honestly reflect the data structure, like accountsMap or accountsGroup.
• Use distinct names for classes/variables so autocomplete doesn't trick you.
