Cleaning my room showed me why tidy code matters.

A neat space helps you think straight, doesn't it?

You say a neat space helps you think straight, but is that ALWAYS true? I know lots of smart folks who thrive in messy rooms. Their code might look like a tornado hit it, but it works perfectly. Getting hung up on tidiness can actually slow you down. For some people, a bit of chaos is where the good ideas come from. It's not as serious as everyone makes it out to be.

In a Stanford study, they found messy spaces can spark new ideas. But how do you balance that with needing to find stuff quickly, like when code gets too tangled? Just wondering lol.

Yeah @caleb27, my brain just freezes in clutter.

Try finding a function in @caleb27's "organized" mess and you'll change your mind real quick lol.
