Concepts:
Single Source of Truth (SSOT): Ensure that every piece of knowledge or logic is represented in one place within the codebase. This helps in maintaining consistency and makes updates easier.
Abstraction: Use functions, classes, and modules to abstract common logic. This avoids repeating the same code and makes the system more modular and easier to maintain.
Reusability: Write code in a way that it can be reused across the system. This reduces redundancy and promotes cleaner and more efficient code.
Benefits:
Maintainability:Changes are easier to implement and errors are less likely to occur since updates need to be made in only one place.
Readability: Code is easier to read and understand when there’s no unnecessary repetition.
Reduced Errors: By avoiding duplicate code, the risk of inconsistencies and errors is minimized.
NOTE: Avoid abstracting too early or too much, which can lead to complex and hard-to-understand code.
