Developers often question the benefits of implementing clean code practices, believing that it may negatively impact the performance of their code. However, this is not the case. In fact, using techniques such as splitting code into sub-methods or a whole class object can improve both the quality and performance of the code. By gaining a better understanding of their code, developers can make it more efficient and effective. This is similar to how installing single light bulbs and cameras in the street can enhance safety without negatively impacting energy resources.

Prompt engineering" typically refers to the concept of rapidly or quickly designing and implementing engineering solutions or responses to specific challenges or requirements. The term "prompt" implies a sense of immediacy or timeliness in the engineering process. However, "prompt engineering" can also be interpreted in other contexts depending on the industry or field of engineering. For example, in certain domains like software development, "prompt engineering" might refer to quickly addressing bugs or issues in code or rapidly developing software solutions in response to changing requirements. If you have a specific context or application in mind, feel free to provide more details, and I can offer a more tailored explanation.

SOLID is an acronym that stands for five design principles aimed to write cleaner, more maintainable code. Each letter represents a principle that helps to create more readable, concise, and efficient code. S - Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) O - Open/Closed Principle (OCP) L - Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) I - Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) D - Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) By applying these principles, you can: * Reduce code duplication and improve reusability * Make your code more modular and flexible * Enhance readability and maintainability * Decrease errors and bugs Boost your productivity by applying software engineering principles to your workflow.

For personal reasons, I have been looking recently at the National Electrical Code. It's not an exciting document, but I am impressed with how it is crafted. I discovered their style manual, which is a model for rigorous content guidelines that no doubt have been developed based on years of feedback. Recommended reading for anyone interested in content style guides and governance: https://lnkd.in/e24DxNXZ

Modularity is not lost at all, an DLL/assembly is a module, a class is a module. It's everywhere. The real lost art of programming is developers understanding software at deep level, down to assembly instructions and byte level, and even consider what's happening inside CPU. What was the last time you looked at assembly instructions? What was the last time you looked at data structure at byte level?

The process of designing, developing, and testing

Marc Brooker discusses the importance and advantages of using formal methods in software engineering, especially for complex, large-scale, and critical systems. He argues that these methods, while not always cheap or easy, can prevent costly rework and speed up the development process by ensuring designs are right the first time. Brooker emphasizes that such approaches can lead to both faster and more reliable software, underscoring their value in the engineering process. https://lnkd.in/dZmQYUYP

The World runs Successfully by this 3 Steps:- 1) Input / preparation / Feed / programming 2) Execution / Action / process / Implementation / performance 3) Output / Results / Success / Failure

Modularity is the lost art of software engineering. But what does it mean? Modular means to consist of separate parts that, when combined, form a complete whole. In our world, it refers to breaking down complex systems into smaller, independent parts - modules. Each module encapsulates a specific functionality that can be independently: - Developed - Tested - Maintained How do you make a system Modular? If you follow the Separation of Concerns, you end up with smaller components that implement specific functionalities. And you can apply this on the level of a method, class, or module. Loose coupling is another constraint that will make your system Modular. Modules should only talk through well-defined interfaces. What's your take on Modularity?
