7. Hippocratic oath for programmers
I Promise that, to the best of my ability and judgement:
I will not produce harmful code.
The code that I produce will always be my best work. I will not knowingly release code that is defective either in behavior or structure.
I will produce, with each release, a quick, sure, and repeatable proof that every element of the code works as it should.
I will make frequent, small, releases so that I do not impede the progress of others.
I will fearlessly and relentlessly improve the code at every opportunity. I will never make the code worse.
I will do all that I can to keep the productivity of myself, and others, as high as possible. I will do nothing that decreases that productivity.
I will continuously ensure that others can cover for me, and that I can cover for them.
I will produce estimates that are honest both in magnitude and precision. I will not make promises without certainty.
I will never stop learning and improving my craft.
