Coding Philosophy πŸ“œ

  1. I analyze the problem and break it down. I split larger problems into smaller sub-problems, sometimes even atomic steps.
  2. I plan and act in iterations. I adhere to the principle that 10 minutes of planning saves an hour of work.
  3. I prioritize communication. I emphasize code readability as a key element of team communication.
  4. I write tests. Testing is my foundation to ensure correctness and high quality.
  5. I automate processes. I am human and make mistakes, and to avoid them, I rely on automation.
  6. I standardize code. I use linters and shared formatting standards to unify team work.
  7. I avoid commenting, remove unnecessary code. Less code is easier to maintain, and code that doesn't exist contains no bugs.
