What we can do to prevent bad code

Writing clean code requires a conscious effort of maintaining professionalism and following best industry standards throughout the stages of the software development process. Bad code should be avoided right from the onset of software project development, because the accumulation of bad debt through bad code can slow down software project completion and create future issues after the software has been deployed to production.

To avoid bad code, you have to be lazy, as the general saying goes that lazy programmers are the best and smartest programmers because they hate repetitive tasks, such as having to go back to fix issues that could have been prevented. Try to use programming styles and approaches that avoid writing bad code, to avoid having to rewrite your code in order to fix avoidable issues, bugs, or to pay technical debts.
