<h1>𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔊𝔲𝔦𝔡𝔢𝔰</h1>
<p class="description">
This is partly satirical and purposefully strange to be humorous. These
are my personal rules for software development (and other projects where
I get carried away easily).
</p>
<p><em>The Guides.</em> The Guiding Principles.</p>
<p>
They guide you. They will not lead you astray. Obey <em>The Guides</em>.
</p>
<p>
You've heard them go by different names. YAGNI. KISS. These are not
falsehoods, but they are not <em>The Guides</em>. Seek the wisdom of the
guides.
</p>

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
O Guides, may I please just add this one extra feature? It won't take me
long and it will be so nice to have later.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
O Guides, this can't be correct code. I haven't used proper software
development patterns, processes, or practices.

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
O Guides, how may I approach this project pragmatically?
</blockquote>
<blockquote>ℌ𝔢𝔢𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔰𝔢 𝔯𝔲𝔩𝔢𝔰:</blockquote>
<ol>
<li>
You may only write code directly related to the task at hand. Don't
get distracted.
</li>
<li>
Once you have working code, make it correct. Once it is correct, make
it secure. Once it is secure, make it small. Once it is small, stop.
</li>
<li>The enemy of good is better.</li>
