Engineering principles
Ship to production
A feature isn’t done until it’s live, monitored, and surviving real users.
Instrument everything
If it isn’t measured, it isn’t owned. Every decision should be explainable.
Own the whole stack
From schema to pixels — end-to-end ownership removes the seams bugs hide in.
Design is engineering
The interface is part of the system; craft is a first-class deliverable.
Write for the next engineer
Code is read far more than it’s written — clarity compounds.
