Hi,

I like to see software as a house, which is build in a beautiful and simple way.
During my work I follow common sense rules and extend them every day. Here are some of the things I live by:

• Time is won not by working over hours, but by making the right strategic decisions,
  if you pick the wrong framework at the beginning you fail right away.
• Everything that is discussed in a team, does not really exist unless there is a ticket for it.
• Everything you figured out one time, must be documented or tomorrow your team
  member will need to figure it out again.
• Run through all project steps as fast as possible, to figure out the most dangerous and difficult steps.
• Right language for the right task, picking of the wrong frameworks is the most common issues in the companies.
• Automation is the best documentation, automate at least sub-steps with scripts and place them as documentation.
• Community is an important criteria for the maturity of a technology.
• Complex code is not something to be proud of, simplicity is the art.
• TDD helps but in healthy amounts, black box over white box testing and stubs over mocks.
