Programmers bad habits

Read Original

This article examines three common bad habits in software development: leaving unused or commented-out code in the codebase, over-generalizing solutions for hypothetical future reuse, and an excessive fixation on Object-Oriented Programming principles. The author argues these practices harm readability, waste time, and complicate maintenance, offering practical advice for writing cleaner, more focused code.
