+ 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><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.

+ You may only write code directly related to the task at hand. Don't
+ get distracted.

+ 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.
