4: High-Quality Software /is/ possible

3: Productivity and Quality are Inseparable

Basic Practices

For the MicroObjects style I have the driving principle of Represent the Concepts [https://quinngil.com/uobjects/] > Driving Principle Have a representation for every concept that exist in the code. Which is great, but the thing about principles is that they don't tell you have to get…
