We made mistakes in the early days of writing and building our platform Libeo, just as many startups have. To prevent us from making the same mistakes, we adjusted and redefined our coding patterns as we learned and progressed.
This article was originally an internal note built to standardize our codebase. Our goal is to make code easy to read and understandable for everyone including newcomers, junior developers, and senior developers. This article acts as a guide to prevent us from introducing bugs into our app or making the same coding mistake twice.
Database reading and writing can have a…
