### Coding Philosophy 📜

1. I **analyze** the problem and break it down. I split larger problems

   into smaller sub-problems, sometimes even atomic steps.

2. I **plan** and act in iterations. I adhere to the principle

   that 10 minutes of planning saves an hour of work.

3. I prioritize **communication**. I emphasize code readability

   as a key element of team communication.

4. I write **tests**. Testing is my foundation to ensure correctness

   and high quality.

5. I **automate** processes. I am human and make mistakes, and to avoid them,

   I rely on automation.

6. I standardize code. I use **linters** and shared formatting standards

   to unify team work.

7. I avoid commenting, remove unnecessary code. **Less code** is easier

   to maintain, and code that doesn't exist contains no bugs.

### Key Technologies 🛠️

- 🛤️ **Ruby on Rails** - allows me to build MVPs quickly and efficiently.

- 🐘 **PostgreSQL** - a database with powerful extensions, high performance,

  and scalability.

  shaping the interactive nature of apps.

- 🐹 **Go (Golang)** - expanding my skill set with this programming language.
