Why Principles Matter?
Principles are our strong beliefs that guide how we build, ship, and communicate.
Every company has a language. It is the vocabulary for how people think, build, and collaborate. Our engineering principles shape that language at BeautifulCode.
Code Quality & Maintainability
Each function should do a single thing -- it keeps code testable, debuggable, and extendable.
Variables, functions, and classes should reflect what they are or do -- your future teammates (and self) will thank you.
If you're writing the same logic a second time, pause and think DRY.
Write for the next person, reading it not to impress, but to communicate. Clarity beats cleverness every time.
Code suggested by AI must be tested, validated, and reviewed like any junior engineer's work.
Ownership
Finalize and align on the API structure with all dependent teams before writing any business logic
If you write the code, you're responsible for making sure it works.
When things break, stay calm, learn deeply, and fix forward -- blame doesn't solve anything.
Testing & Debugging
Until you can trigger it reliably, you're not ready to fix it.
Write one before or after -- but don't leave a bug fix unguarded. That's how we prevent reruns.
Use tests to guide complex logic and edge cases -- TDD brings clarity before code.
