A curated collection of quotes and paraphrased programming best practices gathered from blogs, talks, and discussions around the web. It is a reading resource rather than software, covering topics like avoiding large apps, writing less code, and keeping dependencies lean.
Use cases
- find advice on software design best practices
- read curated programming wisdom from well-known developers
- learn principles for keeping codebases small and maintainable
- get quotes to cite in engineering guidelines or talks
- decide whether to rewrite or refactor existing code
- onboard junior developers to software craftsmanship ideas
When to choose
- you want a quick, opinionated reading list of programming principles
- you are compiling engineering culture or onboarding material
- you want sourced quotes from practitioners like Joel Spolsky and Avdi Grimm
When to avoid
- you need executable tooling, libraries, or code
- you need comprehensive, up-to-date best-practice handbooks
- you require a maintained project with a license and active releases
