Principles
- •Keep it simple (KISS) — prefer the simplest solution that works
- •Don't repeat yourself (DRY) — extract when you see three duplicates, not before
- •Single Responsibility — each module/function does one thing
- •Use descriptive, intention-revealing names
- •Use kebab-case for files and folders
- •Functions should have clear inputs and outputs with minimal side effects
- •Keep functions right-sized — extract when logic needs a comment to explain
- •Delete dead code — don't comment it out
- •Never swallow errors silently
- •Measure before optimizing — no premature performance work
- •No premature abstraction — wait for three concrete duplicates before extracting
