- Use clear, outcome-focused titles and introductions that explain the goal for beginners.
- Show the end result early, make code snippets copy/pasteable, and use long command-line flags.
- Separate user-defined values from reusable logic with environment variables or named constants.
- Use unambiguous, real-world example values and avoid jargon to keep tutorials beginner-friendly.
- Minimize dependencies, keep code in a working state, and teach one concept at a time.
- Use consistent, descriptive headings, specify filenames clearly, and demonstrate the solution works.
- Link to a complete example repository, ideally with branches for each tutorial stage.
