earthly.dev9 min read

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

There are two types of readability in code: beginner and expert. Beginner readability focuses on making code easy to understand for those new to programming or a particular language, while expert readability focuses on making code easy to understand for experienced developers. Both types of readability are important, but expert readability is often more important in the long run as it allows developers to write more concise and expressive code.
