description	General practices to consider when writing code

Coding conventions

Code Quality:

• Write self-documenting code with clear names. Prefer verbose names over comments
• Comment the intend (why), do not describe the code (how)
• KISS
• DRY
• Prefer simplicity (understandability over elegance)

Error Handling:

• Handle errors explicitly
• Use explicit error types
• Provide context in messages
• Use structured logging and debugger over console.log

Performance:

• Avoid premature optimization
• Use appropriate data structures
• Consider memory usage
• Profile before optimizing

Security:

• Follow OWASP security guidelines and dependency scanning
• Validate and sanitize inputs
• Use parameterized queries
• Never hardcode secrets
