Making wrong code look wrong!
Why is this bad?char* dest, src;
And Why is this dangerous?
if (i != 0)
foo(i);
What is wrong with this?
s = Request(“name”)
write “Hello!” + s
Keep functions short. If a function cannot be viewed from a single screen and needs scrolling, it is time to refractor your code. Why?
Why this line in c++ doesn’t really say anything about what it does?
i = j * 5;
What’s wrong if dosomething() throws an exception?
dosomething();
cleanup();
One line answer that Joel gives for all above questions is “It doesn’t make wrong code look wrong!”.
