Introduction: The author of this article Colin Devroe in Cdevroe.com, "Why you should never asked permission to clean up code." "Never ask if you should tidy up your code," The It review of foreign periodicals. The contents are as follows:

"May I take a moment to tidy up this program?" It's a mess. "The answer to this question should always be" good. ”。 However, many times, you will find that we have rejected requests for budget, time, scheduled planning, predictability, and some typical "cynicism" in companies. My advice to you, dear developers, is never to ask questions like this, you know that is essential and must be done.

Maybe your work environment is better than mine, and when you make such a request, you will immediately get the full support of your team. But unfortunately, a lot of people are not so lucky. They asked their boss for advice on whether they could spend some time sorting through the code to make them efficient and scalable, and perhaps the boss could recognize the need for such things, but in the end it simply said, "Maybe we can do this later." ”

Why the boss likes to make such a reaction. Because bosses don't need to read, edit, and maintain these program codes.

This is a stupid practice that every developer knows. Bosses, (if you're reading this article) now prevent a few hours of organizing a program that could lead to many hours or days in the future. So allowing your developers to spend a little time on the necessary maintenance of the code is actually saving your company money. But don't worry--they'll never ask you again. They're going to do it straight away.
