Golden Rules Across All Languages

Naming

Be consistent - Follow language conventions
Be descriptive - Clarity over brevity
Be conventional - Use established patterns

Formatting

Automate it - Use language-specific formatters
Be consistent - Same style across the codebase
Follow standards - Don't reinvent formatting rules

Documentation

Document public APIs - Help users understand interfaces
Explain why, not what - Code shows what, comments explain why
Keep it updated - Outdated docs are worse than no docs

Code Quality

Prefer clarity - Readable code over clever code
Handle errors - Don't ignore error conditions
Test your code - Automated tests catch regressions
