Simon Harrer talks about how to avoid negations in your code…

I interviewed Simon Harrer at “Developer Week” about his book “Java by Comparison” - A book about clean code in object-oriented programming languages, especially Java.

In this interview, we talk about negations: Negations in your code and in the names you use. Simon shows us examples of negations. And also how to eliminate them: By switching conditions if necessary.
