- [Safe Defaults](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/safe-defaults.md): Choosing default configurations and behaviors that are safe when left unchanged.
- [Secure Defaults](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/secure-defaults.md): Making the default configuration the most secure option, requiring explicit action to reduce security.
- [Command/Query Separation](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/command-query-separation.md): Separating operations that change state from those that return data, so each method has a single purpose.
