hassanhabib/The-Standard resource

This is The Standard. A collection of decades of experience in the engineering industry. I authored it to help you navigate the vast ocean of knowledge. The Standard is not perfect and never will be, and it reflects the ongoing evolution of the engineering industry. While one person may write it, it is the collection of thoughts from hundreds of engineers I've had the honor to interact with and learn from throughout my life. observed · 2026-08-28

The Standard is a written collection of software engineering principles, design theories, and architecture guidance distilled from decades of industry experience. It is a documentation-style knowledge resource rather than executable software.

Use cases

  • learn software design principles
  • improve system architecture skills
  • find engineering best practices
  • study object-oriented design guidelines
  • onboard junior engineers to solid engineering standards
  • understand dependency and exposure principles in design

When to choose

  • you want opinionated, experience-based guidance on software design and architecture
  • you are teaching or learning engineering fundamentals
  • you want a reference for consistent code and system design standards

When to avoid

  • you need a runnable library, tool, or framework
  • you want neutral, consensus-based standards rather than one author's philosophy
  • you need language-specific coding conventions
