Frank Müller 🌻<p>Perhaps I should take some bigger examples of my private programming history. Those are often similar or better than my professional projects using these languages. And then AI should rate <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/style" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>style</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/readability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>readability</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maintainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maintainability</span></a>, perhaps room for optimization without loosing these criteria.
