We've been working for several years on ''code hardening'', improving the quality of BRL-CAD's source code through a variety of best practices and code cleanup efforts.

This task has you write an article that succinctly summarizes all of our efforts. You'll need to become familiar with our HACKING file as well as read up on our various hardening efforts. You're welcome to ask our devs questions over IRC for more information too.

Include at least one picture. Article should be 300-900 words long and be fully proof-read before submitting (check for grammar and spelling mistakes, please).
