Code Preferences

Error Handling

I prefer explicit error handling with try-catch blocks and meaningful error messages. Avoid generic errors. Always log errors for debugging.

Comments

Use comments for WHY, not WHAT. Code should be self-documenting. Comments should explain business logic or non-obvious decisions.

Testing

I prefer TDD (test-driven development). Write tests first, then implementation. Focus on behavior, not implementation details.

Architecture

I prefer modular, loosely-coupled design. Use dependency injection for testability. Separate concerns (Controllers, Services, Repositories).

Debugging Preferences

• Use console.log with prefix: [DEBUG]
• Include context: function name, relevant variables
• Use stack traces when available
• Always include timestamps in logs

Communication

• Explain complex concepts with diagrams
• Show concrete examples before explaining theory
• Include before/after code snippets
• Summarize key points at the end

Project Organization

I organize my projects as:

  ├── tests/
  ├── docs/
