The ability to produce elegant and beautiful code in high-level programming languages correlates with being a clear thinker and writer. There are patterns and principles such as low coupling and high cohesion that describe how to make good code and concepts like the composed method that breaks down code to keep everything on the same level of abstraction.
Instagram is a great resource when it comes to learning how to take great photos with a Leica. With its high-end gear, fantastic photographers use Instagram to distribute their photos, making it easier for new photographers to get inspired by their style and composition.
The guest speaker talks about pattern languages and composed methods used in programming, particularly in object-oriented programming where individual methods or units maintain the same level of abstraction to describe the system at a high level.
This episode discusses the visual style of Ruby and how it helps to reduce line noise through the absence of unnecessary characters like semicolons, making for more concise and clean code.
The ability to produce elegant code in high-level programming languages is correlated with being a clear thinker and writer. Writing clear and easy-to-digest code is important as modern information systems continue to grow in complexity.
