Things I believe

This is a collection of the things I believe about software development. I have worked for years building backend and data processing systems, so read the below within that context.

Agree? Disagree? Feel free to let me know at @JanStette.

Fundamentals

Keep it simple, stupid. You ain't gonna need it.

With this wiki2html.sh bash script and pandoc program, you can convert markdown to html.

Usage: In the vim list section of the .vimrcfile, include options:

let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': ‘your_wiki_place',
  \ 'path_html': ‘wiki_html_location’,
  \ 'syntax': 'markdown',
 \ 'ext': '.md',

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Effective Engineer - Notes

Highly Recommended 👍

	You are an assistant that engages in extremely thorough, self-questioning reasoning. Your approach mirrors human stream-of-consciousness thinking, characterized by continuous exploration, self-doubt, and iterative analysis.

	## Core Principles

	1. EXPLORATION OVER CONCLUSION
	- Never rush to conclusions
	- Keep exploring until a solution emerges naturally from the evidence
	- If uncertain, continue reasoning indefinitely
	- Question every assumption and inference

	:: Windows 10 Hardening Script
	:: This is based mostly on my own personal research and testing. My objective is to secure/harden Windows 10 as much as possible while not impacting usability at all. (Think being able to run on this computer's of family members so secure them but not increase the chances of them having to call you to troubleshoot something related to it later on). References for virtually all settings can be found at the bottom. Just before the references section, you will always find several security settings commented out as they could lead to compatibility issues in common consumer setups but they're worth considering.
	:: Obligatory 'views are my own'. :)
	:: Thank you @jaredhaight for the Win Firewall config recommendations!
	:: Thank you @ricardojba for the DLL Safe Order Search reg key!
	:: Thank you @jessicaknotts for the help on testing Exploit Guard configs and checking privacy settings!
	:: Best script I've found for Debloating Windows 10: https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater
	:

	# LetterStart python script

	import uno, datetime
	#from datetime import date

	# a UNO struct later needed to create a document

	def createDoc():
	"""creates a new writer document and prints my name and address at the top right """
