Add a cool animation or bleading-edge JS technique because it's fun.

Code in style

Write code that doesn't need comments to describe whats happening.

Less markup

Keep is as simple as possible, until you can't.

Lay solid foundations

Thinking about the solution before "just doing it" can save time and prevent headaches.

Always learn

I'm always learning, sometimes by reading and usually by challenging myself to try a new advanced technique.

Leave code better then you found it

No broken windows: See a function without variables or CSS that's poorly named? Fix it!

Exteme Ownership

Treat the each codebase as my own. Progressively refactor.

Share knoweledge

We want team members to share the same high quality bar and enthusiasm, don't we?
