What is CLEAN Code?

Writing clean code makes your life better in the long term, and I find it’s more fun initially. According to Bernstein, CLEAN is an acronym:

  • Cohesive
  • Loosely Coupled
  • Encapsulated
  • Assertive
  • Non-Redundant

His book “Beyond Legacy Code. Nine Practices to Extend the Life (and Value) of Your Software” seems to be a good read. Not through, yet.1
