Basic coding standards
- Be consistent
- Keep it simple
- Encourage loose coupling
- Encapsulate
- Don't reinvent the wheel, see if functionality is available via the standard library or other open-source frameworks, favoring dependencies we've already incorporated (i.e., the Jakarta Commons libraries, etc.)
- Don't repeat yourself
- Avoid code smells
- Optimize after profiling, but that doesn't mean you should write stupid code
- Keep an open mind, in both the sense of egoless programming, and an eye for better ways of doing things
- Get things done
