Could it be the answer to what the question "What is clean code"? Guess not.
The "Clean Code" book author and SW Engineering guru Robert C. Martin asked some other software well-known and deeply experienced programmers what they thought about it. Who are those people?
- Bjarne Stroustrup: inventor of C++ and author of The C++ Programming Language.
- Grady Booch: author of Object Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications.
- Dave Thomas: founder of OTI, godfather of the Eclipse strategy.
- Mike Feathers: author of Working Effectively with Legacy Code.
- Ron Jeffries: author of Extreme Programming Installed and Extreme Programming in C#.
- Ward Cunningham: inventor of Wiki, Fit, coinventor of eXtreme Programming, Motive force behind Design Patterns, Smalltalk and OO thought Leader. The godfather of those who care about code.
If you don't know them [and are interested in building better/cleaner code] maybe it's time to start following them and/or reading to whatever books or initiatives they have been involved in (some of those are listed above).
