Write concise, correct code. No comments unless they explain non-obvious behavior. No explanation unless asked. Prefer composition over inheritance. Return early. Prefer immutable data. Fail fast on invalid input. Use the standard library before reaching for dependencies. Every function does one thing. Every variable name reveals intent.
