Ref : Key words for use in RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2119
- Rethink best practises from scratch everyday. Rethink from first principles often. We like original thought and common sense.
- The best code is no code. Next best is less code. Use tools that others have built and tested... if it suits the problem.
- If you build it, you are responsible for it - forever.
- Write code that less clever people (future you) can understand.
- Code -> Test -> Sanity Check and then -> Deliver.
