1) Separation of Concerns (SOC)

• Divide your program into small, independent parts.

• Each part should do one thing well.

2) Document Your Code (DYC)

• Write as if your future self (or another developer) will thank you.

• Add clear comments and documentation for complex logic.

3) Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY)

• Avoid duplicating code.

• Reuse functions, modules, and libraries whenever possible.

4) Keep It Simple, Stupid (KISS)

• Simple > Clever.

• Readability always beats over-engineered solutions.

5) Test Driven Development (TDD)

• Write a failing test first.

• Implement the code to pass the test.

• Refactor without changing behavior.

6) You Ain’t Gonna Need It (YAGNI)

• Don’t build features you “might” need someday.

• Focus on what’s essential today.

🚀 Clean code isn’t just about elegance — it’s about building software that lasts.
