writing code for the future

[abazoskib]

as a programmer, i find myself going back into old programs and thinking "boy, isn't this ugly!"

 

as i learn more and more, yes my code style improves. i was just curious how some of you structure your code. i find that often my comment structure is so different file to file that it can be a hassle to try and find comments.

hmmm....while my coding techniques do continually improve, my coding "style" (comment convention, indentation, etc..) has not really changed in a very long time. In my own experience, and experience in seeing other people's code, people pretty quickly figure out what works best for them and generally stick to it (for better or worse..)

i just feel like i havent found a convention for comments. overall, code can always improve, but neatness should always be there

Ive found it pretty easy to just stick to the Zend framework coding standard. It was pretty close to how I always worked anyway, but now its documented.
