My Ideals

Software engineering principles I believe in.

Philosophy

• Code is the enemy — write the minimum necessary, delete whenever possible
• Favor simple solutions over clever ones
• Prioritize readability and maintainability over premature optimization
• Design for modularity — systems should be easily testable

Principles

• Twelve-Factor - A methodology for portable, resilient, scalable applications
• Functional Programming - Purity, composition, and declarative transformations
• Agnostic Core - Keep business logic free of infrastructure concerns
• Codebase - Code, dependencies, and configuration
• Error Handling - Let errors bubble up, handle at the top
• Code Ownership - Everyone owns everything
• Operations - Build, deploy, and run applications reliably
