An incomplete list of my mantras (in the sense of guiding principles not mystical formula).

  • Be curious, not judgmental.
  • Don’t repeat yourself (DRY)

  • Keep it simple, stupid (KISS)
  • Make it work, make it right, make it fast.

  • Premature optimization is the root of all evil (source: Donald E. Knuth)
  • You aren’t gonna need it (YAGNI)
