Koans

• Between lines of code, documentation whispers secrets of intent to human seekers, while revealing patterns to digital minds that shape their answers.

• Everyone has a personal communication interface exposed for others. It is just usually poorly documented, non-discoverable and it handles failures poorly. Define quality attributes important for you and adjust your own interface accordingly.

• Your internal state is only yours, it has exactly zero impact outside its boundaries. What is only important is how you expose it and how you interact with others.

• The most expensive resource is time. Time of users, customers, maintainers, developers, coworkers and yours. Use it wisely.

• The problem with inheritance is that (technical) debt is inherited as well.
