7 Python Code Smells: Olfactory Offenses To Avoid At All Costs

This video shows 7 code smells that point to poor design decisions, as well as how to fix them. I'm pretty sure you're guilty of at least one of these smells (as I was in the past :) ), and knowing these will help you write much cleaner, more robust code.

The code that I worked on in this video is available here: https://github.com/ArjanCodes/2021-code-smells.
