//Todo: Improve Code Quality

Set a personal max limit on class and method size.

Too often I hear developers say, “I can’t clean up the tech debt because management won’t let me.” But here’s the truth — most of the tech debt and code quality decisions you make every day aren’t dictated by management.

How big are your classes and methods get.

I rarely see methods that are too small, but I constantly see classes and methods with hundreds of lines. Large classes and methods are harder to understand and harder to maintain. It’s a choice you make one line of code at a time. And you can start changing it today.

Action for this week:

1. Pick your personal max line count for a class and for a method. (e.g., 200 lines for a class, 40 lines for a method — or whatever feels right to you.)
2. Every time you open an old file and see something over that limit, don’t add to it — refactor. Move your logic into smaller methods or new classes.
3. Hold yourself to your limit. No exceptions.

You can’t control management. But you can control your own habits. Start today — set your limit, stick to it, and make your code better one method at a time.
