## Development Ideology
Truths which we believe to be self-evident:
1. **The answer is not more options.** If you feel compelled to add a
preference that's exposed to the user, it's very possible you've made
a wrong turn somewhere.
1. **The user doesn't know what a key is.** We need to minimize the points
at which a user is exposed to this sort of terminology as extremely as
possible.
1. **There are no power users.** The idea that some users "understand"
concepts better than others has proven to be, for the most part, false.
If anything, "power users" are more dangerous than the rest, and we
should avoid exposing dangerous functionality to them.
1. **It's an asynchronous world.** Be wary of anything that is
anti-asynchronous: ACKs, protocol confirmations, or any protocol-level
"advisory" message.
