When contributing code to this project, you MUST follow these principles:

• Code should be easy to read and understand.
• Keep the code as simple as possible. Avoid unnecessary complexity.
• Use meaningful names for variables, functions, etc. Names should reveal intent.
• Functions should be small and do one thing well. They should not exceed a few lines.
• Function names should describe the action being performed.
• Only use comments when necessary, as they can become outdated. Instead, strive to make the code self-explanatory.
• When comments are used, they should add useful information that is not readily apparent from the code itself.
• Properly handle errors and exceptions to ensure the software's robustness.
• Use exceptions rather than error codes for handling errors.
• Consider security implications of the code. Implement security best practices to protect against vulnerabilities and attacks.
