Ask HN: How do I write clean and maintainable code

3 points

4 years ago

Unfortunately, I work at a startup where there’s no effort put into things like even leaving consistent comments.

Now that I’m planning on interviewing, is there a primary resource I consult on writing clean code? Especially during an interview? For example I don’t see many of the solutions on the leetcode discuss section as being maintainable.

I was considering purchasing the book clean code, however, I’ve seen a lot of conflicting opinions about it on Reddit.

I plan to interview in Python and was consulting Google’s style guide https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html which albeit lengthy seems great. Are there any succinct resources?
