Compiler errors are better than runtime errors Runtime errors are better than bugs Tooling is better than documentation Documentation is better than nothing As a grumpy old gray-beard those four are my favorites

Generally I say: "let's make a good effort, to not let a bug pop-up on the user's face." Hehehe. Particularly, I love documentation. Doesn't need to be a gigantic comment at the beginning of each function/method, but the Business Rule that the code is about, must be explained. Without this, maintaining and improving a code base for whatever service, might be a 'seek 'n hide' + 'riddle' game, and to be honest, I don't like it, at all. Logging is a good thing too, essentially, if the application is on debug mode. Makes life much easier for gigantic code bases. Since a gray-beard guy mentioned these four, they make more sense to me, who have a black-beard, yet. Cheers,
