#404: Clean Code in Python

Clean code is one of those aspects of your programming career that's easy to put on the back burner (sometimes by management more than yourself). But it's important in the short term for writing more debuggable and readable code. And important in the long run for avoiding having your program take on the dreaded "legacy code" moniker. We're fortunate to have Bob Belderbos back on the show. He's been thinking and writing about clean code and Python a lot lately and we'll dive into a bunch of tips you can use right away to make your code cleaner.
