Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes, derived from Andrej Karpathy's observations on LLM coding pitfalls. Tradeoff: These guidelines bias toward caution over speed. For trivial tasks, use judgment. Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs. Before implementing: Minimum code that solves the problem.
