Konmari Your Code Base

What's this blog post about?

Konmari is an old concept that emphasizes living with purposeful items and discarding unnecessary ones. Marie Kondo popularized this idea in her book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up." The author suggests applying these principles to digital lives, particularly codebases. To maintain a clean and organized codebase, follow best practices such as adding comments, using meaningful tags and variable names, and mentioning dependencies. Automate deletion of outdated elements to prevent clutter accumulation. Establish regular cleanup times during the development cycle and reward good behavior to encourage tidiness.
