Writing code that only needs to be used once can be done however you want to write. But, in most cases, adhering to best practices and maintaining clean code is essential. Remember, your code will likely be read by another developer, or even yourself, at a later date. When that time comes, your code should be self-explanatory. Every variable, function, and comment should be precise, clean, and easy to understand. This approach not only facilitates easier maintenance but also promotes collaboration and efficiency within your development team. So, when someone (or you) comes back to add or modify your code,…
