> The only thing I follow is keeping stuff simple. Some other things I’ve kept around: - Complex systems must develop out of a simple system (there’s a clever quote I can’t find right now) - also known as “make it work, then make it better” - Bugs shall become test cases - Bug reproducibility should be maximized (crash tracking / good logs, sacrifice performance if necessary) - Fail fast - Composition over inheritance (arguably a subjective one, but I’ve never regretted doing it)
