Principles I work by, and subjects I keep coming back to.

Principles

  1. Treat software as craft: small systems, deliberate details, and code shaped with care.

  2. Speed is welcome. It does not replace clean architecture, good developer experience, or systems designed to age well.

  3. Precision matters, but so do instinct, timing, and knowing when to stop. This is as true in the kitchen as in code.
