Greppability - an underestimated metric of code quality

The article discusses code metrics, specifically the concept of 'greppability', which refers to how easy it is for programmers to understand and work with code based on its intuitiveness and readability. The author emphasizes that poorly understood code leads to mistakes and team frustration. Introducing the idea of 'greppability', the author aims to help assess code quality practically. Various techniques are provided to enhance greppability, such as the use of clear naming and organizing code into comprehensible blocks. In conclusion, the author encourages reflection on how to improve greppability in everyday programming tasks. This important topic serves as a reminder that code is not just for machines, but also for the people who write and maintain it.
