I like to come up with cutting edge solutions that are not only fun to work with, but also comply to standards I think every software product should comply to: Modern - Use the tools and technology you can get today. Don`t try to keep your legacy dinosaur alive. Social - Your software should connect to other software - or people - or both. Usable - Just making it work is not enough. It should to be usability optimized. Sustainable - You shouldn`t create (digital) garbage. Think about the environment. Safe & secure - Don`t think your application`s vulnerability will never be exploited. Scalable - Make sure your application can grow or shrink without breaking. Transferable - You should not be the only person to work on your code. Perfomant - Know where you can optimize your code, so you need little resources and keep it quick at the same time. ©
