Besides some of the very, very obvious (don’t copy/paste 100 lines of code, make it a function! Write comments for your future self who has forgotten this codebase 3 years from now!), I’m not sure how to write clean, efficient code that follows good practices.

In other words, I’m always privating my repos because I’m not sure if I’m doing some horrible beginner inefficiency/bad practice where I should be embarrassed for having written it, let alone for letting other people see it. Aside from https://refactoring.guru, where should I be learning and what should I be learning?

    Do you have any book recommendations?

    I think The Pragmatic Programmer by Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas is a great book everyone should read every couple of years. It’s not really a lot of “low level coding tips” - more like overall paradigms
