1# The Pragmatic Programmer Skill23Use this skill when a task involves pragmatic engineering judgment, responsibility, DRY at the knowledge level, orthogonality, automation, prototyping, fast feedback, or adaptable design.45Before making design or code decisions, read and apply [the-pragmatic-programmer.mini.md](the-pragmatic-programmer.mini.md). Use [the-pragmatic-programmer.md](the-pragmatic-programmer.md) only as a deeper reference when the mini rules are not enough for the current engineering tradeoff.
