11. Human-Like Code Examples ✅

Example 1: Natural Error Handling

// ✅ Human-like: Clear, practical error handling
try {
    const user = await User.findById(userId);
    if (!user) {
        return res.status(404).json({
            success: false,
            message: 'User not found'
        });
    }
    // ... rest of logic
} catch (error) {
    console.error('[getUser]', error);
    return res.status(500).json({
        success: false,
        message: 'Error retrieving user'
    });
}

Example 2: Practical Validation

// ✅ Human-like: Sensible validation with helpful messages
if (!email || !password) {
    return res.status(400).json({
        success: false,
        message: 'Email and password are required'
    });
}

if (password.length < 6) {
    return res.status(400).json({
        success: false,
        message: 'Password must be at least 6 characters'
    });
}

Example 3: Real-World Caching

// ✅ Human-like: Practical caching with clear TTL
const CACHE_TTL = 3600; // 1 hour - balance freshness and cost

static async get(key) {
    try {
        const redis = getRedisClient();
        const cached = await redis.get(`questions:${key}`);
        return cached ? JSON.parse(cached) : null;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('[Cache Get Error]', error);
        return null; // Fail gracefully
    }
}

12. Code Smells Check ✅

✅ No Long Functions - Functions < 50 lines
✅ No Deep Nesting - Max 3 levels
✅ No Duplicate Code - DRY principle followed
✅ No God Objects - Single responsibility
✅ No Tight Coupling - Loose dependencies

13. Comparison: Robot vs Human Code

❌ Robot-Like Code (What We AVOIDED)

// Bad: Overly verbose comments
// This function gets the user by ID from the database
// It takes userId as parameter
// It returns user object or null
async function getUserById(userId) { ... }

// Bad: Cryptic variable names
const u = await User.findById(uid);
const q = await Question.find({ s: sid });

// Bad: No error context
} catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
    res.status(500).send('Error');
}

✅ Human-Like Code (What We DID)

// Good: Concise, meaningful comments
// Verify user owns this session before allowing modifications
if (session.user.toString() !== req.id) {
    return res.status(403).json({
        success: false,
        message: 'Unauthorized access'
    });
}

// Good: Clear variable names
const user = await User.findById(userId);
const questions = await Question.find({ session: sessionId });

// Good: Helpful error messages
} catch (error) {
    console.error('[generateQuestions]', error);
    return res.status(500).json({
        success: false,
        message: 'Error generating questions. Please try again.'
    });
}
