Posting Etiquette
-
Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.
-
Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
-
Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.
-
Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

Someone said it before: write for test-ability. I find that code which is easier to test, is easier to read.
Also, use a linter and a code formatter. Those can be used from the get-go. They cost little and will allow you to write code without thinking too much about what it looks like.
What more, I can recommend letting the code rest for a while after having written it (1 week or more), then try to read it again and see how well you understand your own code. You'll notice things like variable names being confusing, function names being non-descript or missing documentation, methods being too long, code branching too much, and so on.
And finally, ask for people to review the part of your code you are unsatisfied with. https://programming.dev/c/code_review isn't very active, but I check it sometimes and try to give advice when I can.
