Why do I need these rules?

Working on the basis of full transparency regarding my necessities is a great filter when looking for the right people; I enjoy building things and enjoy even more the process of building an infrastructure to build things on.

Thus, the limits of my language mean the limits of my world, one is free to collaborate with me on any of my projects, so long as they share the same views.

Regulae sacrae

A Latin phrase meaning "Sacred Rules"

Every single one of my projects, to an extent, have a standardized set of tooling one will have to learn and use to collaborate. Ethics and attitude also play a big part in it.

Conventional Commits + Gitmoji

I am a firm believer that good commit messages equal a better collaboration experience, be it in debugging, blaming, reverting, and so on.

It can be tedious, thus the usage of convco is recommended but not required for committing to my repositories.

Conventional Branches

Not much to say, refer to the previous heading.

Ante agendum, dic

A Latin phrase meaning "Before acting, tell"

Nobody enjoys merge conflicts, diverging histories, force-pushes, and such.

And quite frankly, I would just prefer clear communication over doing whatever one feels like whenever one feels like.

Adhere

I like linters and formatters. I like it even more when code is clean, elegant, and properly formatted.

I generally have hooks set up for Nix users, but if one does not use Nix, I always provide the tooling needed to format and/or lint the project in scripts.

Touching back on the previous paragraph:
While I'm not personally a die-hard functional programming enthusiast, I would prefer elegant declarative approaches rather than abominable imperative ones.

Do Not Argue Pointlessly

I like talking.
I will listen to one's opinion patiently, weigh the pros and cons, and then decide whether it's a "yes" or a "no."

If I say no and give a reason for it, I really do not want to argue any more in bad faith — it just makes me not want to work with one. At all.

Mutabilitas et Continuitas

A Latin phrase meaning "Change and Continuity"

This post is subject to change and should be a constant personal reference.
My way of working evolves, and so do my expectations. One should revisit this regularly if they intend to work with me long-term.
