When is code good enough?
The most recent blog post about the newest release of jQuery got me thinking about some of the code I've been writing. In the post, they have this little gem: We don’t expect to get any bug reports on this release, since there have been several betas and a release candidate that everyone has had plenty of opportunities to thoroughly test. Ha ha, that joke never gets old. We know that far too many of you wait for a final release before even trying it with your code. So now there is really no reason to wait, and you can find out if there are any bugs you could have reported earlier. I've been searching high and low for any anomalies in the code and when I see some code that's not "up to code" I reformat and refactor as necessary. Which is to say, a s I find bugs, I've been getting them fixed, but at other times, I'm simply making changes to the codebase to adhere to a particular style that I've been working toward. I suspect I should probably stop so...
