A "splash" of Functional Programming
We always focus on the thinking process
"The writing"
What about the reading process?
Most Programmers Can't Read Code
Most Programmers Can't Read Code EFFECTIVELY
Being able to understand large amounts of code, the designs and intentions implicit in how code is written and by whom, taking note of what code is not there, and being able to extrapolate on how the code will evolve over time, is a different story.

“Indeed, the ratio of time spent reading versus writing is well over 10 to 1. We are constantly reading old code as part of the effort to write new code. ...[Therefore,] making it easy to read makes it easier to write.”
― Robert C. Martin, Clean Code
How can we make code more readable?
- Use the same business names and terms in the code so that the reader can understand what it really means.
- Document everything
- Tell your linter to work
