Code Is for Humans, Not Machines: Why AI Will Not Make Syntax Obsolete

With AI, “everybody is a programmer.” You do not need to learn syntax anymore. Just describe what you want, and the machine will write the code for you. If you have spent any meaningful time in this profession, you are probably laughing right now. Or at least shaking your head. This narrative has become extraordinarily popular. It appears in breathless LinkedIn posts, product marketing copy,…

Simplifying Logic with Swift: From if-else to switch Pattern Matching

Switch pattern matching improves readability by replacing if-else statements with clear logic. Check this article if you’re interested in refactoring with switch patterns!

When working with conditional logic in Swift, you often encounter scenarios that require checking multiple conditions. Traditionally, developers rely on if-else statements for such tasks. However, Swift’s powerful switch statement with pattern matching offers a cleaner and more elegant way to handle these situations. In this article, we’ll demonstrate how to transition from a…

The View of The String

std::string_view can optimize both performance and code readability in code sections which handle strings. However it can also lead to UB and to memory issues if used incorrectly. #cpp #cppsenioreas #string_view #performance #readability #ub

Communication is a powerful tool of the humanity. It allows us to transfer ideas and thoughts from one to another. There are many ways of communications, and one of them is words. In order to communicate using words, we need the ability to understand each word in a sentence and to understand the way the words connect with each other. Words analysis today became a major topic in development, and a…

Sometimes I write one liners in personal projects...

e.g.

vertices_data = new Float32Array([].concat.apply([], vertices.map(function(val) { return val.GetDataArray(); })));

And then I feel a bit like a bad person. At least this is a mild case. I love one liners, they're magic. Utterly unreadable, but magic.

You should always write code as if the person who has to later maintain your code is a psychopath and knows where you live.

Straight from a StackOverflow user's comments, according to the latest MSDN magazine article on source code readability.

Reminds me of the merger our company went through back in 2008. I took over several ASP.NET websites from a group of developers on their way out the door (two weeks notice) and had to quickly begin familiarizing myself with all the different source code written across four different brains, and then be ready to maintain them... Thankfully, was able to hire a co-worker at that point to share the madness. We're still maintaining these sites some six years later. It was actually a good thing we had the names and numbers of those developers, as we ended up calling quite a few them to ask for help.
