Collection of things I’ve read during the years, and I keep referring back to them. I either agree with their content, or they have material I can refer back to. These articles have made me a better software engineer, colleague or just straight up person.

Let’s start with a quick baseline that should be(come) common sense:

• nohello: please don’t say just hello in chat
  (probably the original version: https://www.nohello.com/)
• Don’t ask to ask
• The XY Problem
• Zac Sweers: You are not blocked

The pages are in no particular order, just randomly thrown here. If I get inspiration I might write some actual recommendations, until then, just read on!

• Ben Balter: Removing a feature is a feature
• Ned Batchelder: Comments should be sentences
• Krzysztof Hasiński: Please, oh please, use git pull –rebase
• Trisha Gee: Code Smells series from IntelliJ Blog
  (⚠ The series is a long read, but well worth the time!)
• French vs. English punctuation rules (the French perspective)
• Tabs vs. Spaces: It’s an Accessibility Issue
• Android Lint User Guide → Android Lint Documentation
• Tom Scott: The Art of the Bodge
• Marcin Moskala: Kotlin not-to-do list (after the book Effective Kotlin)
• Description of test-only, contextual and absolute selectors
