- Use type hinting. Check regularly with mypy via the `Makefile` command `make typecheck`.
- Use docstrings following the style of the existing code.
- Avoid bloaty comments. Instead, favour using descriptive functions and variable names to make what's happening obvious.
- Use tests frequently to detect errors early. Make sure that tests are kept up to date. Remove dead code tests when removing code.
- Avoid using comments to divide sections of code. If you feel that is necessary, you probably should break into multiple files instead.
