Legal Compliance: Developers must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and standards, including but not limited to data protection, privacy, and intellectual property rights.
Ethical Use: Moobius should be used to promote ethical interaction. Developers are prohibited from creating applications that foster discrimination, hate speech, harassment, or any illegal activities.
2. Development Practices
Code Quality: Code should be clear, maintainable, and well-documented to support collaboration and future updates. Use comments and keep documentation updated to reflect changes.
Security: Prioritize security in your development:
Use secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, and other common security threats.
Implement proper authentication, authorization, and encryption methods.
Regularly update and patch systems and dependencies.
Performance: Optimize application performance to ensure smooth operation:
Minimize server load and response times.
Efficiently manage memory and resources.
