I came about a nice article about how to write more comprehensible code. This does mean more faster or bug-free code, but instead more inteligible and more important more maintanable.

Short version:

  • Comment like a smart person.
  • Use #define a lot. No, a LOT.
  • Don’t use variable names that will mock you.
  • Do error checking. You make errors. Yes, you.
  • “Premature optimization is the root of all evil.” – Donald Knuth.
  • Don’t be too clever by half.
