Frontend Philosophy

Authoritative conventions for all React/Preact work. These are not suggestions — they are the standard. When in doubt, choose the simpler path.

"Every line of code is a liability. The best code is no code. The second best is simple, boring code that obviously works."

Core Principles

1. Simplicity over cleverness — Write code a junior dev understands
2. Convention over configuration — Follow existing patterns, don't invent
3. Optimize for understanding — Code is read 10x more than written
4. Embrace the monolith — Colocate related concerns, don't split prematurely
5. Performance through simplicity — Fastest code is code that doesn't run
