Great advice. I would add one more: keep it simple, don’t overthink it. It’s pretty common to fall into the trap of trying to find the most elegant solution, performant and β€œscalable”. But that usually leads to tech debt most of the time.

Definitely a good one as well and something people should keep in mind! It's kind of the theme of this post, but I tried to formulate it into more concrete points that people can follow. πŸ˜ƒ

That's something I didn't think of putting in this post, but is definitely important to keep in mind as you mentioned: while creating these super elegant solutions, we often forget about the developers that'll have to make sense out of it in the future, which can include ourselves. So let's be nice to them! 😊
