Code Should Make the Wrong Thing Hard

If your code allows misuse,
someone will misuse it.

Great code:
restricts bad states
guides correct usage
fails loudly when misused

That’s why strong types, clear APIs, and good defaults matter.
They protect future decisions.

The goal isn’t flexibility everywhere.
It’s safety by design.

Good code prevents mistakes before they happen.
