I'm a backend developer. Which is probably why I generally like it when the most important things aren't particularly visible.

A good system to me is one that nobody remembers six months later. It means all that time it simply worked.

I'm a fairly unhurried person. Not in the sense of "I'll do it someday", but in the sense of "first I'll understand, then I'll do it".

The word "urgent" doesn't make a task go any faster by itself.

I think in development it's far too easy to start enjoying complexity for its own sake.

I try to remember that the client isn't actually paying for the complexity of the solution. They pay for the problem to go away.

I like it when a technical solution can be explained in plain words.

Code doesn't have much respect for your experience. A single character still has every right to ruin your evening.

Very often the complexity lies not in the task itself, but in the number of assumptions around it.

I don't like technologies that demand admiration.
