Summary

Are we done yet with the theory? Well, kind of. We defined together what clean code consists of. We gave a mutual definition of clean code. By having the same definition of clean code, we are one step deeper into it, and ready to dive into more advanced principles in the next section.

But of course, we are not done yet. Even if you agree with the definition we presented, you may of course have a lot of questions already. And the most important questions should be the following: Who decides these rules for you? Who has the power to impose this vision? This is what we are going to see together in the next chapter.
