Expectations for all your code, always

Part 1

1. It needs to work. And by work I mean execute without crashing.
2. It needs to do what you expect it to do.
3. It needs to have code you can actually read and debug.

Part 2

• No Syntax Errors
• No Warnings (from the compiler)
• It has tests (yes, even asserts)
• It passes test.
• It logs errors.
• It does not crash.
• Someone who doesn't know you won't kill you for writing completely illegible code.
• It has instructions. For the user.
