A Small Habit That Improves Code Quality

One simple habit that helped me improve my code is using clear and descriptive names.

Instead of writing variables like x, data, or temp, I try to name them according to their purpose. Even small improvements in naming can make code much easier to read and maintain.

Clean and readable code saves time not only for other developers, but also for your future self.

Sometimes the simplest changes make the biggest difference.
