AI writes code.
You make it last.

In the age of AI acceleration, clean code isn’t just good practice — it’s the difference between systems that scale and codebases that collapse under their own weight.

Why Clean Code Matters Now More Than Ever

⚡️

Ship Features Faster

Clean, modular code means features ship 2-3x faster. Less time debugging, more time building.

💰

Save Real Money

Every hour debugging messy code costs $100-200. Clean code reduces bugs by 40-60%.

🚀

Faster Onboarding

New developers onboard in days, not months. Clean patterns are self-documenting.

😌

Better Developer Experience

Developers are happier and more productive with code they can understand and trust.

🔄

Easier Refactoring

Clean code is easy to change. Pivot without rewriting everything from scratch.

🤖

AI Multiplication Effect

AI amplifies good patterns 10x and bad patterns 100x. Clean code maximizes AI benefits.

🧠

Fewer Production Issues

Well-structured code has fewer bugs, faster fixes, and better test coverage.

🎯

Predictable Growth

Clean code scales linearly. Messy code compounds into exponential slowdowns.

📈

Competitive Advantage

Teams with clean code ship more, stress less, and retain talent longer.

This messy code is based on a real TypeScript file from a real project that’s difficult to maintain and scale. The clean code is a refactored version of the same file, but with a focus on clean code practices.

My ESLint Configuration

A production-ready ESLint configuration built for TypeScript projects. Includes automatic import sorting, JSX prop ordering, object alphabetization, and React best practices. While optimized for TypeScript, many rules work great in JavaScript projects too.

Note: While other linters like Biome are great, I found ESLint to be more flexible and customizable.

Production Ready

Battle-tested rules for TypeScript, React, Next.js, and modern JavaScript projects.

Auto-Sorting Everything

Automatically sorts imports, JSX props, objects, and interfaces for consistent code style.

Error Prevention

Catch bugs before they ship with comprehensive TypeScript and React rules.

What’s Included

typescript-eslint

Comprehensive TypeScript linting with type-aware rules

eslint-plugin-perfectionist

Alphabetically sorts imports, props, objects, and types

eslint-plugin-react

Essential React rules and best practices

eslint-plugin-react-hooks

Enforces React Hooks rules and patterns

@next/eslint-plugin-next

Next.js-specific linting and optimization rules

About Clean Code Guy

Helping developers and teams write maintainable, scalable code in the age of AI.

Martin Adams - Founder of MicroEstimates

Martin Adams

Building Better Software, Together

Meet the Founder

I’m a senior software engineer and consultant specializing in clean code practices. I help teams write code that’s not just functional, but maintainable, scalable, and a joy to work with.

Over the years, I’ve learned that the best code isn’t the most clever — it’s the most maintainable. I’ve seen firsthand how technical debt can slow teams down and how investing in code quality pays dividends in velocity and team morale.

Clients & Consulting

I’ve worked with both startups and established companies alike, including Productlane, MasterBoard, Tumbleweed, Ecstatic, and others — helping them ship better code faster.

Products & Projects

I’ve built a series of successful applications that combine clean code practices with real-world impact.

Our Mission

My mission is simple: help developers and teams write code that stands the test of time. In an era where AI can generate code faster than ever, the ability to maintain, understand, and evolve that code is more critical than ever.

About Clean Code Guy

The Clean Code Guy is my consulting practice focused on helping teams maintain velocity without sacrificing code quality. Whether you’re a startup racing to product-market fit or an established company dealing with legacy systems, I provide the expertise to keep your codebase healthy. I’m committed to helping engineering teams and startups build systems that don’t just work today, but continue to work as they grow. Clean code isn’t about perfection — it’s about sustainability.

Technology & Approach

I work with modern web technologies including React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and more. My focus is on patterns and principles that transcend specific technologies — clean code practices that work regardless of your stack.
