Note to self

In the context of programming

1. Less code is more code
2. Less code is in my experience usually better code
3. Less is easy, pretty (pretty easy)
4. Less doesn't need to be simple
5. Simple doesn't need to be less
6. Simple isn't bad!
7. Fancy code doesn't necessarily need to be simple nor less
8. Many steps doesn't need to be complicated or bad, but make sure you document it
9. Don't over-engineer!
10. Documentation is important but it is more important to be documenting
11. Keep your documentation up to date, use a wiki
12. Code should be self documenting
13. You can't document everything
14. Readability is very important
15. Trust your instincts
16. Structure and organisation is very important

1. Always insist on using a english platform when as developer, useful when:
1. creating screenshots you want to send to another country
2. searching for error messages on line
3. learning keyboard shortcuts
