Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

eXtreme Go Horse (XGH) Process

Source: http://gohorseprocess.wordpress.com


1. I think therefore it's not XGH.
In XGH you don't think, you do the first thing that comes to your mind. There's not a second option as the first one is faster.

2. There are 3 ways of solving a problem: the right way, the wrong way and the XGH way which is exactly like the wrong one but faster.
XGH is faster than any development process you know (see Axiom 14).
