10 Good Coding Principles to improve code quality

Here are the 10 principles detailed in these article :
Enjoy ☀️
<ul>
<li>10 Good Coding Principles:
<ol>
<li>Follow Code Specifications: Adhere to established norms like PEP 8 or Google Java Style for consistent and readable code.</li>
<li>Documentation and Comments: Document and comment code clearly, focusing on explaining the “why” behind code logic.</li>
<li>Robustness: Ensure code can handle unexpected inputs without crashing.</li>
<li>SOLID Principles: Emphasize principles like Single Responsibility and Dependency Inversion for scalable and maintainable code.</li>
<li>Make Testing Easy: Support automated testing and reduce component complexity.</li>
<li>Abstraction: Hide complexity through abstraction for more flexible and maintainable code.</li>
<li>Utilize Design Patterns: Apply design patterns appropriately without over-designing.</li>
<li>Reduce Global Dependencies: Avoid global variables and instances, favoring localized state and parameter passing.</li>
<li>Continuous Refactoring: Regularly update and refactor code to reduce technical debt.</li>
<li>Security: Prioritize avoiding common security vulnerabilities.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>

I particularly agree with principle number one: Follow code specifications. It makes the code so hard to maintain and add new features when people like to make their own version of everything, just because they disagree with how the norms are.
