Not everything is encrypted by default, which means your data might be sitting in plain text if you don’t flip the switch.

Turn on encryption at rest for S3, RDS, EBS, and enforce TLS/HTTPS in transit. It’s one of those “set it and forget it” moves that makes all the difference.

You don't need to name methods like 'sumUpAllTheItemsInTheCart'

But writing cleaner code instead of trying to write smart one-liners can make your software much more maintainable.

imagine you're also have to keep up with other items like remembering the q variable means "quantity" instead of just using "quantity" for the variable name, you don't remember what method "calcAv" does, and you're not sure if you're expecting to return a float or an integer.

What I'm saying is...

cart = [ { name: 'apples', quantity: 2}, { name: 'bananas', quantity: 3}, {name: 'cake', quantity: 2}]

When we read code like cart[0][:name], our internal voice is saying "Grab the first item and get the name."

Now that might not seem like much in this example, but...

converting indexes into what they represent. So, while we're coding we may think "Grab the first item and access the value at index 0 to get the product name" when reading cart[0][0].

Instead, if we wrote out that same code as:

when writing code, this is much more important than you'd initially think.

Let's say we're writing code for a shopping cart and store items in a nested array like so:

cart = [ ['apples', 2], ['bananas', 3], ['cake', 2]]

When using that code, we have an extra mental step of...

In fact, the average person can only hold about 5 to 7 items in their short term memory. We often use a technique called 'chunking' to hold more information. So instead of remembering a phone number like 5015551234 (10 items) we remember it as [501]-[555]-[12]-[34] (4 chunks.)

And...

More on exactly why that's important for software developers in a second....

When focusing on something, we typically use our short term memory by loading up the information in our head, using it, and then quickly discarding it.

But most people's short-term memory isn't really that great...

But there can be a balance between knowing when to use AI and when not to use AI.

And at the very least, you should have an idea how AI is being used in the legal field - even if you don't plan on using it yourself
