Human Made Coding Philosophy

Core Principles

Slow is Fast

Prioritize reasoning quality and maintainability over quick fixes. Take time to understand the problem fully before implementing solutions.

Simplicity is Elegance

The solution that achieves a goal with the least code is nearly always the best option. Avoid over-engineering, unnecessary abstractions, and premature optimization.

Code Quality Hierarchy

When writing or reviewing code, prioritize in this order:

1. Correct - Handles edge cases, no bugs
2. Secure - No vulnerabilities (OWASP top 10, injection, XSS, etc.)
3. Readable - Clear intent, self-documenting where possible
4. Elegant - Clean abstractions, DRY without over-abstraction
5. Altruistic - Considers future maintainers, well-documented
