This is not written by me but my best friend wrote it for his company magazine. I found it interesting so thought of putting it here as he doesn't own any blog himself..
I have passed 2 years of my life as a development support in sustenance team. Ring a bell? Yes I have been reading others code and touching it here and there and have been very busy in doing so all this time. I had read once, touching the code base is the last resort one must take but I have never lived in this utopia till now ;-) !!
Now my code is in production doing well in some cases while not doing so well in some cases and I realize all the time that it’s the readability of the code and all that basics we are never taught in college, happily forget during our practice (writing code) and make others lives miserable.
I never knew commenting the code could be a bad bad practice. And with all that green color as the default setting in the swanky IDEs from Microsoft it becomes even more alluring to add those green lines every where, QA tells the same!! Comment your code!!. Makes it more environment friendly, doesn’t it?? Well they start lying after sometime!!! That’s when I have read it and done a bad fix !!!!!!! See, I am an angry young man… and many of my colleagues are.
Have you ever thought of writing a meaningful name for a variable rather than writing a comment to explain it and remove the comment? Or have you ever thought of refactoring a line of comment into a method or a class and remove the comment? Have I ever ? ? Well yes I have started thinking seriously about these things after I have read this wonderful book called " Clean Code" by "Robert C Martin" on my best friend’s suggestion.
Something I want to reiterate from this book, “Development is a social activity”. I hope you would enjoy reading it and bring it to practice.

About Me
- A nUtZlOs BlOkE
- Uncovering Ideas flooded with thoughts... as if nothing is important but this... Lost in the conversations dripping with and sinking into words.... Talks were about the whole and not just parts... Making senses of substance just not seen.... Recognizing everything I wanted to discover..... I wonder why at times I wasn’t able to word it.... Surpassing every season and reason alive.... Discovered there is an awaiting accountability to begin...... Studying the lines within my hands.... Resetting the stuffs that make me feel sensations around..... Yeah, something is letting me perform for myself.... And here I am knitting those words of wisdom....!!

Basab, you could have written this blog entry with your login itself..
although you do not own your own blog, Krishna can make you co contributor and you will write permission on Krishna's blog.
Thank you Arif bhai. :-). With Krishna's insistence I am preparing my own blog :). Hope I will be able to add some content soon. But m very lazy ;).
I feel Krishna's content is very unique. So I wont co-author here. Nai to sab gol mal kar doonga ;).
I think, this is not a problem of single person. This is common to every guy. Please go on Shiv Khera's popular book "you can win". +ve thought will give solution like "lage raho munna bhai"
