How to Write Better Code

My previous blog post took off on Twitter. This post pointed out one problem — the obligation to follow certain rules at all times isn't actually helping people code better. The most common question (or objection) I got to the blog post was "how do we teach new coders how to code well?" In this blog post, I attempt to answer that question.

Learn to Collaborate

The most important skill we should teach new coders is how to work well with others on a shared code base. In my career, it took me many years to I get good at this, but it had the most impact on my overall effectiveness. So, this is where I want to start with developers who are getting ready to join the workforce. On almost all projects we work on, our success depends on others.
