Coding standards are a set of guidelines and best practices that help ensure code is readable, maintainable, and consistent across a software project. They facilitate collaboration among developers and reduce the likelihood of introducing errors or technical debt into the codebase.

Readable code refers to writing code in a way that is easily understandable by humans, making maintenance and collaboration more effective. It emphasizes clarity, simplicity, and organization, ensuring code is self-explanatory and documents itself as much as possible.

Technical Debt refers to the implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer. It highlights the trade-off between short-term gains and long-term code maintainability and efficiency, often leading to higher costs and resource allocation in the future if not managed properly.

A codebase is the complete collection of source code used to build a particular software application or system, encompassing all files, libraries, and dependencies required for its functionality. Effective management of a codebase is crucial for maintaining software quality, facilitating collaboration, and enabling efficient updates and scaling.
