      <p>One of my goals when coding is to reduce the amount of nesting in the code I write.</p>

      <p>I mean both in my PHP code where if conditions and foreach loops can be nested within each other, and CSS and Sass files, which support nesting CSS rules.</p>

      <p>My aim is to have a maximum of two or three levels of indentation, though sometimes this isn't possible.</p>

      <p>Doing so where I can, though, makes my code easier to read and understand and encourages other clean code approaches, such as having small and well-named functions.</p>

      <p>In CSS or Sass, avoiding nesting makes it easier to find a rule I'm looking for instead of having to find how rules have been nested or names have been concatenated - making it hard to search or grep for a string.</p>

      <p>This approach is part of "object callisthenics", which was introduced by Jeff Bay and includes other approaches that I like to follow, such as not using the <code>else</code> keyword and other good practices that I like to try and implement when possible.--</p>
