Taking code quality beyond documentation and into the fabric of your team’s work.
As engineering leaders, we’re responsible for establishing clear patterns for writing high-quality code. Without these standards, our teams will accumulate technical debt very quickly, and before long, features will become too costly to build, release cycles will stretch out for far too long, and our users will ultimately suffer.
In this article, I’ll share some straightforward strategies for ensuring a solid baseline of code quality for your teams, beyond writing documentation.
The challenges of documenting code conventions
Maintaining technical documentation for the product you’re building is essential and challenging work.
