Good Code Has a Shape You Can Feel

You don’t always read great code line by line.
You sense it.

The structure feels right:

  • responsibilities are clear
  • boundaries make sense
  • nothing feels misplaced

Bad code feels noisy.
Good code feels calm.

That feeling isn’t magic.
It’s the result of consistent decisions made over time.

When the shape is right, the details fall into place.
