Code Quality Guidelines

Don't write forgiving code

  • Don't permit multiple input formats
    • In TypeScript, this means avoiding Union Type (the | in types)
  • Use preconditions
    • Use schema libraries
    • Assert that inputs match expected formats
    • When expectations are violated, throw, don't log
  • Don't add defensive try/catch blocks
    • Usually we let exceptions propagate out
  • Don't keep legacy code paths as fallbacks
    • Remove old code instead of keeping it around for compatibility

Naming Conventions

  • Don't use abbreviations or acronyms
    • Choose number instead of num and greaterThan instead of gt

File Management

  • Prefer editing an existing file to creating a new one
  • Confirm with the user before creating any new markdown files

Style

  • Emoji and unicode characters are welcome
    • Use them at the beginning of comments, commit messages, and in headers in docs
