Talk:Coding best practices

message: The article is full of sweeping generalizations, non-sequturs, and contoversial advice presented as fact. 
It is amusing that it is accidentally correct in saying that the practices described have "incredible" (i.e not credible) value.
This page gets into lifecycle, requirements, etc. best practices. But the title is *Coding* best practices. 
Also, many of the best practices listed for requirements, architecture, etc. aren't necessarily best practices. For example, Extreme Programming disagrees with them, yet is a very valid methodology. DRogers 17:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Article seems to suggest that Peer Review means looking at other people's code to see what's the best way to do things.  That's not what peer review means at all.  Rather it means having other people look at your work, to identify any problems in your own code. --duncan (talk) 09:48, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: This article is in serious need of a cleanup. As it stands, it is incomplete, suggestive and even misleading. I'd almost prefer it to be deleted as it requires complete rewrite anyway. -- mafutrct (talk) 13:57, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unclear article 

message: This article is badly written and off topic. I was looking for a conclustion to coding dilema myself but will have a go at rewriting this article instead.
The title "Coding Practices" would be more appropriate with a section on "Best coding practices".
This article currently seems to be a vague, inaccurate, inexperienced and personal view on project development.
This article should really be covering the use of comments and layouts in code, naming convention of variables, methods etc, use of switches/ifs, the differences these changes have in a range of languages and the choices to be made based on the situation in hand.

thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: This article is a farce. It just needs to be deleted, not rewritten. There's absolutely no need for an article entitled "best coding practices" in an encyclopedia. Even the title is a joke. Please delete this embarrasment of an article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.176.129 (talk) 17:23, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Somewhat agree, there no new ideas. There too many outside links. Also there better written and maintained page on almost same topic: Software quality Ushkin N (talk) 07:38, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal 

message: There is no discussion of the use of assertions. Assertions are a really useful tool to help debug programs. For example, at the JPL, one of their coding rules is that a certain percentage of the lines of code (I think about 8%) have to be assertions. It's easy to find a reference for that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:280:4201:D47F:D45E:D915:C74:3BF2 (talk) 17:06, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
