==Old comment==

The article is full of sweeping generalizations, non-sequturs, and contoversial advice presented as fact.

It is amusing that it is accidentally correct in saying that the practices described have "incredible" (i.e not credible) value.

Line 57 ⟶ 63:

The article contains no mention of logging or use of libraries, both of which I consider crucial coding practices.

== Rewrite ==

I have started rewriting this article, taking note of the various criticisms mentioned above. I fully intend to include lots of inline references.

Please check my work, add more references, etc. as I progress. [[User:Murray Langton|Murray Langton]] ([[User talk:Murray Langton|talk]]) 19:24, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

:Well, some progress has been made:

:* Rearrangement of topics to provide a more logical grouping.

:* Rewrite of first two sections (Software quality, Prerequisites), with a fair number of quotes and inline references.

:The remaining sections have still to be considered. Any suggestions for this or for sections not yet mentioned are welcome. [[User:Murray Langton|Murray Langton]] ([[User talk:Murray Langton|talk]]) 22:30, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

== Removal ==

This article is a farce. It just needs to be deleted, not rewritten. There's absolutely no need for an article entitled "best coding practices" in an encyclopedia. Even the title is a joke. Please delete this embarrasment of an article. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/82.9.176.129|82.9.176.129]] ([[User talk:82.9.176.129|talk]]) 17:23, 5 February 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: Somewhat agree, there no new ideas. There too many outside links. Also there better written and maintained page on almost same topic: [[Software quality]] [[User:Ushkin N|Ushkin N]] ([[User talk:Ushkin N|talk]]) 07:38, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

:Agree, this feels like a blogpost.[[User:Scoaldr|Scoaldr]] ([[User talk:Scoaldr|talk]]) 05:40, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

== Assertions ==

There is no discussion of the use of assertions. Assertions are a really useful tool to help debug programs. For example, at the JPL, one of their coding rules is that a certain percentage of the lines of code (I think about 8%) have to be assertions. It's easy to find a reference for that. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:280:4201:D47F:D45E:D915:C74:3BF2|2601:280:4201:D47F:D45E:D915:C74:3BF2]] ([[User talk:2601:280:4201:D47F:D45E:D915:C74:3BF2|talk]]) 17:06, 18 August 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== version control? ==

is it appropriate to mention version control here? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2605:E000:308B:1E00:CC09:4A50:74D5:AAA3|2605:E000:308B:1E00:CC09:4A50:74D5:AAA3]] ([[User talk:2605:E000:308B:1E00:CC09:4A50:74D5:AAA3|talk]]) 07:49, 30 June 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== External links modified ==

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on [[Best coding practices]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=791232372 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:

*Added {{tlx|dead link}} tag to http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/360000/358561/p75-hoare.pdf?ip=86.149.222.132&id=358561&acc=OPEN&key=BF13D071DEA4D3F3B0AA4BA89B4BCA5B&CFID=376760624&CFTOKEN=68991969&__acm__=1383824348_7b82781d1f57e0bdc065e0717663d1c3

*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20090713030558/http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-hook_duttaC.html to http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-hook_duttaC.html
