Principles

  • Criteria > codeUnderstanding what to build and for whom matters more than knowing how to write it.
  • Simplify, iterateStraight to the point. Always in WIP. Ship small, learn fast.
  • Measure, then optimizeDon't assume where the bottleneck is. Measure first, then act.
  • Autonomy + trustThe best teams are built with delegation and clear communication, not control.
  • Give backOpen source, sharing what you learn. Not optional, part of the job.
