Summary

Clean as You Code is a methodology that enables developers to focus on writing clean code from the start, without introducing new issues into an existing legacy codebase. This approach helps teams achieve a Clean Code state by making code quality, maintainability, reliability, and security a priority, allowing them to increase momentum, improve productivity, and steadily reduce technical debt. By adopting this methodology, developers can set clear expectations of quality standards across teams, spend more time innovating with less time spent on remediating old issues, and write maintainable code that's easy to understand, review, repair, and enhance. With Clean as You Code, organizations can make their codebase an asset for their software, ultimately supporting optimum developer velocity and achieving a pipe dream of releasing high-quality code in a timely manner.
