I don't write code the way I used to

Read Original

A software developer shares personal reflections on how his approach to programming has changed after ten years. He discusses moving away from unnecessary abstractions, adopting a more functional mindset, preferring verbose clarity over clever one-liners, and becoming reliant on static analysis tools. He also touches on his ongoing struggle with testing and his continued, albeit more appreciative, use of PHP.
