Comments and good variable names, to begin with, which should be mandated by any style guide.

If you can't give your variables readable, understandable names you don't understand your code and nobody else is going to, either.

Well that was disappointing.

Anyway, good luck with things.

It's also the bare minimum required to have readable source code.

Most people don't like reading stuff that looks like it came out of a particularly aggressive obfuscator.
