Maxi Contieri,
Maxi, Someone told me a while back, name your variables with the same care as you would do it for your kids! It was a heavy but useful warning ๐!
Loved your series so far!
Awesome advice
PS: My kids aren't named "Jn" and "pt".

This series is very amazing. I can't wait to see the next code smell list.
You also write consistently as well. Do you mind sharing some tips with me? ๐
Thank you, @Edidiong Asikpo](@didicodes)!
I started this series as a twitter thread, so I'm writing back several people's experiences.
I create new drafts when I'm writing articles to keep focus on the main one. Then I publish them when I think they are mature enough.
Seems obvious, but to have the habit you need to fake it for some time.
Here are more advices!
Hope this helps
This makes a lot of sense Maxi. Thanks for the information.
I'll read through the article you shared and let you know if I have any other questions ๐
