Compagnie 032011-2023

I aim at writing applications that are:
  • efficient
  • DRY
  • elegantly coded
  • well-documented
  • well-tested
  • easy to extend
  • easy to maintain
  • easy to move forward

This requires that, while my emphasis is on business logic, I strive to be fluent with presentation layer technologies and server-side administration. It also entails being able to discerningly leverage third-party code and the wealth of information available through online resources.

I routinely dig into the source code of most libraries I use because I need to understand how they work to use them correctly and in harmony with the whole.

The Zen of Python By Tim Peters

Or 'When wisdom, poetry and programming meet'

  • Beautiful is better than ugly.
  • Explicit is better than implicit.
  • Simple is better than complex.
  • Complex is better than complicated.
  • Flat is better than nested.
  • Sparse is better than dense.
  • Readability counts.
  • Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
  • Although practicality beats purity.
  • Errors should never pass silently.
  • Unless explicitly silenced.
  • In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
  • There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
  • Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
  • Now is better than never.
  • Although never is often better than *right* now.
  • If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
  • If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
  • Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
