Just these last 2 weeks I've come across pieces of code that looked very similar and familiar. Doesn't matter if it's ActionScript, PHP, CSS or whatever. Well, write this down:
BLANK LINES ARE FREE! Jeeeez, it's not that difficult! Just add some blank lines between your functions or your definitions... It makes your code much, much easier to read. Writing code is like general writing, you have to use punctuation signs, blank lines to split paragraphs and ideas (yes, different actions on the same function) and so on. Besides, you are not just writing for the computer, you are writing for people. And
coding is just writing: "Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs: Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do,
let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do".
Please.
ps: Why can't I say "Blank lines are free" without my mind racing to sing
this?
