Scale up your software with SHOCK methodology - A complete guide to successful software scaling
Writing bad code is nothing to be ashamed of. But if you want to improve, learning programming design principles like SOLID can help. Just remember: S is for Single Responsibility (unrelated tasks don't mix), O is for Open/Closed (add functionality without breaking existing code), L is for Liskov Substitution (subclasses should play nicely), I is for Interface Segregation (smaller, specific interfaces are better), and D is for Dependency Inversion (high-level and low-level modules shouldn't rely directly on each other). Stick to these principles and your code will be SOLID as a rock!
