The Pragmatic Programmer Skill

Use this skill when a task involves pragmatic engineering judgment, responsibility, DRY at the knowledge level, orthogonality, automation, prototyping, fast feedback, or adaptable design.

Before making design or code decisions, read and apply the-pragmatic-programmer.mini.md. Use the-pragmatic-programmer.md only as a deeper reference when the mini rules are not enough for the current engineering tradeoff.
