What kind of code do professionals write? What are the attributes of a professional software craftsman? In the face of pressure, how do professionals practice their craft and maintain their professionalism? This is a talk about code, and there will be a lot of code on the screen. We will study what makes code clean, and how clean code can be crafted. But this is also a talk about behavior, attitude, and professional ethics. A craftsman is not just someone who knows how to write clean code. A craftsman has a set of values and principles that guide his/her practice and behavior. Writing clean code is a matter of both skill and character. This talk studies both.
