   How?
   › Write good code!
   › Leverage tools that help us validate our codebases
   › The .NET type system
   › Mono.Cecil
   › Combine these with tools that run these validations at
   build time
   › Unit testing frameworks
   › CI

   Conventional
   › A .NET library for inspecting types, assemblies,
   solutions and databases, available on nuget
   › Provides a large set of conventions that can be applied
   out of the box, or you can create your own
   › Fits in with your testing framework of choice
   › Gives human-readable output whenever conventions
   are broken, so we can go and fix our code!
