| Design philosophy | |
| --- | --- |
|[Simplicity, clarity, generality.](https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/tpop.webpage/)|
|[Frugality](https://suckless.org/philosophy/). [Less is more](https://commandcenter.blogspot.com/2012/06/less-is-exponentially-more.html).|
|[Consistency, coherence, conceptual integrity.](https://archive.org/details/MythicalManMonth/page/n53/mode/2up)|
|[Timelessness. Ignore design trends.](https://usgraphics.com/)|
|Transparency. Don't hide the innards; make them beautiful.|
|Respect the user, don't infantilize them.|
|Readability. Code is documentation (but not a substitute for it).|
|[Design top-down, build and test bottom-up.](https://archive.org/details/MythicalManMonth/page/n153/mode/2up)|
|Reliability. Consummate design and rigorous testing.|
|Performance and [minimal memory footprint](https://archive.org/details/MythicalManMonth/page/n109/mode/2up).|
|Maintainability. Programs outlive people and computers.|
|Incremental development. Software is [grown](https://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~cs50/Reading/NoSilverBullet.pdf), not built.|
