Clean code and code review: software quality from the first line

1Introduction

Most lifecycle cost lies in maintenance; unreadable code makes every change costly and risky.

2Discussion

Clean code means meaningful names, short single-purpose functions, DRY and separating business logic from technical details.

Code review has another developer check correctness, readability, security and architectural fit before merge, catching many defects before production.

3Conclusion

Keep changes small, use a shared checklist and let linters automate the routine so reviewers focus on logic and design.
