Clean Code by Convention?! An experience report by the example of Android Lint.

Presented at Clean Code Days 2015 in Munich on November 5, 2015.

Clean Code is a great concept. Most developers will agree that it has a positive impact on the team spirit and the overall code quality. However, at a certain point this concept has to be applied on real code. A vehicle which supports that shift from theory into practice are conventions.

It's not dogmatic. It's objective is to encourage teams to elicit dedicated conventions as a result of a common agreement process. By doing so we have made positive experiences in triggering awareness for Clean Code.
