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

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

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>\n\n

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>\n\n
