The Clean Code Refresher : Practices for the AI-Augmented Developer
Overview
Clean code didn't become obsolete-your context did.
AI tools can now write code, refactor functions, and generate entire modules in seconds. But speed without discipline creates technical debt even faster. This book shows how clean code principles evolve in a world where developers work with AI, not without it.
The Clean Code Refresher revisits timeless best practices-clarity, readability, maintainability-and updates them for the AI-augmented development workflow.
