Pragmatism: we do our best to keep our platform as simple and agile as possible, in order to minimize the maintenance work and have time to focus on the exploration of new things

High-quality software development: we prefer spending 2 hours more on a piece of code today to avoid spending two weeks next month trying to debug it
