I always try to live by my code of honor. A man is nothing without his honor. "A sin is to betray your beliefs".

Honorable life

• Don't betray your code of honor.
• Defend your Bushido way.
• Live life as a Honorable Man.
• Don't lie.
• Honesty takes courage.
• Don't talk without a knowledge to support it.
• "Don't argue with the crazy guy".
• Always follow your sense of Justice
• Feel the pain of others.
• Always put your self in people's shoe before making any decision.
• A simple smile goes a long way.
• There's no honor in winning by cheating.
• "If you fall down 7 times make sure to get up 8 times."
• Protect your promises.
• "For a samurai everywhere is Japan."
• Holding back is disrespectful to your opponent.
• Live life in your way.
• "Respect is earned, not given", So earn it.
• "A man is much more than the job he holds and clothes he wears."

Programming

• Simplicity over Complexity
• Simple first, then Easy
• Abstraction, Abstraction, Abstraction
• Put your conventions layer on top of a well written abstraction
• Always choose a name for your variables which implies the variable content or usage.
• Never ever use variable names such as x, a, b, etc.
• Bugs before new features
• Docs before new features
