Indeed, the ratio of time spent reading versus writing is well over 10 to 1. We are constantly reading old code as part of the effort to write new code. ...[Therefore,] making it easy to read makes it easier to write.”
- Robert C. Martin
Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship
Write It Once. Read It 1,000 Times.
Might as Well Make It Good.
You put in the work, but because your code isn't easy to read or maintain, the next dev rewrites it from scratch.
Now with AI, the amount of code being written has exploded — but without good practices, AI just helps teams generate unmaintainable code faster.
Unmaintainable code erases time, effort, and momentum.
Maintainability matters more than ever, and learning how to use AI effectively is the key to reversing this trend.
What Maintainable Code Really Gets You
Maintainable code isn't just "clean", it gives you freedom, speed, and sanity.
You can move on - your code doesn't need constant supervision
Easy handoff between devs
Fewer rewrites and less churn
Less time fixing, more time building
How AI Supercharges Maintainability
Maintainable code is no longer just a craft - it's a strategic advantage, especially with AI in your toolbox.
In this training, you'll learn how to:
-
Use AI to backfill documentation for legacy codebases
-
Apply AI-assisted refactoring while minimizing risk
-
Prompt AI tools more effectively for code navigation and analysis
-
Evaluate AI-generated code for maintainability, not just correctness
Whether you're cleaning up tech debt or writing new code, we'll show you how to collaborate with AI to do it better and faster.
What You'll Learn
Our training blends 20+ years of hands-on experience with modern tooling and real-world application. It's divided into two tracks:
🔨 Software Craftsmanship
-
Design for the long haul
-
Master simplicity, recognize harmful complexity
-
See how architecture shapes maintainability
-
Customize for fast builds vs. long-term systems
💡 Coding Technique
-
Be free from having to “own” the code forever
-
Make your code readable and collaborative
-
Write code resistant to getting rewritten
-
Reduce the cost of bug fixes and feature changes
Who This is For
This course is designed for developers who:
-
Care about writing software that gets better over time, not worse
-
Are tired of seeing their work rewritten
-
Want their code to be understood — not just by compilers, but by teammates
-
Want to grow their skills and impact as engineers
Maintainable Code is Powerful Code
With 20+ years of hands-on experience building highly maintainable systems, we've distilled what actually works - and now we're integrating AI into that foundation.
This isn't theory. It's what we've lived, built, and refined for two decades.
Get Started
Write code others can understand. Leave behind a legacy your team can build on.
