+ 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). +

+ +

The Guides. The Guiding Principles.

+ +

+ They guide you. They will not lead you astray. Obey The Guides. +

+ +

+ You've heard them go by different names. YAGNI. KISS. These are not + falsehoods, but they are not The Guides. Seek the wisdom of the + guides. +

+ 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. +

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

+ O Guides, how may I approach this project pragmatically? +
+ +
ℌ𝔢𝔢𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔰𝔢 𝔯𝔲𝔩𝔢𝔰:
+ +
    +
  1. + You may only write code directly related to the task at hand. Don't + get distracted. +
  2. +
  3. + 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. +
  4. +
  5. The enemy of good is better.
