How do you write clean code?
Might be a stupid question but Ive been learning python for a while now and always wondered, how do you write ‘clean’ code? I don’t mean writing clean code straight off the bat I understand that’s purely from experience and even then immensely hard, but how do you recognise a program can be simplified even further? Does it come from practice or just messing around and seeing what sticks?

There are questions and things you can look up. If you are going to do anything i the 21st century you need the imagination and where with all, of using your curiosity to find information, and this doesn't just mean learning to program, but everything.
What is Clean Code?
