# Never Nesting

Never nesting is an excellent way to make you code neater and easy to follow and understand. When you have a whole bunch of nested sections, whether loops, if statements, or something else, it can be difficult to keep track of everything.

Never nesting means doing your best to avoid nesting code unless it's absolutely necessary. This makes your code easier to read through, and with the use of guard clauses and functions, reduces the amount of things you need to think about at once.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Those who don't never nest often find themselves creating a "stairway to Hell"—a whole bunch of code leading to the bottom-right corner of their screen, like a staircase descending down into the fiery depths of Hell.

You should keep track of how much you are nesting your code and use strategies to keep it under control and salvage legibility.
