Clever Code: Don't forget how to play with your code
Clair Smith
As developers, we’re all aiming for simple, easily documented code. Which is great as professionals. But we forget that we can still have fun with it. Code can be complicated and elegant, creative and amusing. SCSS mixins and formulas, javascript functions and DOM manipulations can be art. As professionals we should be writing clean working code, but as developers we should never forget how to play with it.
