Tweetup :: Take your Code to the Spa Camp (via @mtlnewtech, @paisible) #twtvite

Take your Code to the Spa Camp

Your code needs a good day at the spa.

Just think how more relaxed your code would be if you would just:

* Cleanse the CSS out of your HTML
* Sweat out that inconsistent use of method names in its API.
* Apply some hot stones to your version control process (maybe switch to git?)
* Throw the copy-pasted code into a cold river
* Rejuvenate (or give birth to) your Test-Cases
* Apply deep-tissue friction to your CSS classes (before it gets CSSitis*)
* Give the documentation a good backrub
* Refactor your damn code.

We coders waste a lot of time because our code isn't as healthy as it could be.

Sometimes we don’t have time to do things right, and have to resort to hacks and quick fixes which we know aren’t definite solutions – and which end up causing us a lot of grief and wasted time if not attended to quickly.

So here’s a time to meet, stop working on new features, and instead focus on making our code healthier.
