What is the Guidelines4Dev?

Hey Dev, sudo? I hope you’re doing great! I’m Lorival, and I’d like to welcome you to this small space where I share some of my experiences in the form of guidelines. Welcome to Guidelines4Dev.

I created this project to share what I’ve learned over the years as a developer, working in 10 companies of different sizes, along with what I continue to learn and discover every day. The idea is to organize best practices into short, focused guidelines covering various areas of software development, those important topics that we constantly deal with in our daily work.

The guidelines should be direct and not exceed 10 minutes of reading. They include highlighted points of attention like this and follow the structure below:

  • TL;DR: a concise summary with key points and relevant links.
  • Purpose: explanation of what the topic is and why it should be used.
  • Foundation: presentation of the topic itself, including principles, context, history, and relevant details.
  • Application: how to apply the topic in practice, with examples and best practices.
  • Final considerations: conclusion of the topic, reinforcement of key points, and/or final recommendations.

The logo of this project is the bit2droid robot from my first company, bit2bit. That company no longer exists, but I brought the logo back to give it a new purpose here. This is a living project, with no defined end, and it will be continuously updated and revised.

If you’d like to leave me feedback, whether positive or negative, feel free to send me a direct message on LinkedIn or even make a post there and tag me.

All the best and happy hacking! :)
