Five Coding Hats

Five coding “hats” symbolize different approaches to programming based on context:

  1. Captain’s hat: Methodical, careful coding for high-stakes situations.
  2. Scrappy hat: Lean, minimal code for prototypes with minimal testing.
  3. MacGyver hat: Quick, messy solutions to test ideas without concern for code quality.
  4. Chef’s hat: Focus on making code aesthetically pleasing, sometimes at the expense of efficiency.
  5. Teacher’s hat: Prioritize code clarity for educational purposes over performance.

Adopting the right “hat” aligns coding style with goals.
