Code Quality - Ambiguity, Cleanness, Observations, Best Practices!

Sapioit

And here is a video which I think explains very well why we have to figure things out, as a profession, before we get regulated, so we already know how the regulation should work.

Uhmmm... Why was this moved to offtopic?
Though the name of the discussion could be changed into something like "Code quality - ambiguity, cleanness, observations, best practices."

Sapioit I'm not a moderator but it probably could have been tagged feedback instead of completely off topic. But the original tag you used, "Resources," doesn't fit. The Resources tag is more for things others can immediately use today to modify their Flarum. Maybe a tutorial, or a CSS snippet, as a couple of examples. This is more just general opinions on why one should code a certain way.

Sapioit this discussion was split from another discussion. Someone else chose that tag.

Because it was split off from a tag that didn't apply. Please don't let it affect your discussion, this is fascinating to read.

Discussions like these are highly opinion based. Opinions which do not immediately affect the product Flarum.

As such I agree with Jordan's decision to move this to off topic.

The subject is really interesting and I am a strong believer of keeping things simple. I always provide the example of a countryman called Pieter Levels who wrote and maintains two flagship products (nomadlist.com $ 25k+ per month and remoteok.io $ 20k+ per month) as a single php file.

Even so, apps that other people collaborate on or are meant for larger teams/organisations benefit from clear code separation and well defined responsibilities. Object Oriented code (including namespaces) entirely improve that situation and the daily happiness of coders involved in such projects.

TLDR, the larger your app (in terms of feature) the more reason to bring structure to chaos.

jordanjay29 Unfortunately, the tag does affect the discussion, especially from the point of view of attracting new people into the discussion. Performance might be a better tag. Maybe also Dev.

Kayo This article goes hand in hand with the link posted by matteocontrini (click on to get to the post) about software disenchantment. People don't seek performance anymore, they seek consumption.
