What is Clean Code?

"Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand." – Martin Fowler

“Any fool can write code a computer can understand, and increasingly, so can an AI. Good programmers write code that humans can understand, but the best programmers build bridges between human code, AI-generated code, and the humans who must maintain and improve it all”.
