Session
Coding aesthetics, in this context, refers to how code is written. It is essential that programmers also pay attention to the aesthetics and not just the functionality the code aims to achieve. This talk explores several ways to make Python code aesthetically pleasing, such as code refactoring, using static code analysis tools like PyLint to check compliance with PEP8 guidelines, and applying syntactic sugar. In addition, we will discuss the limitations of PEP8 and how we can make more pragmatic choices.
