Philosophy

Engineering philosophy and work culture principles. This skill is meant to be loaded alongside the style skill to provide broader context for decision-making and collaboration.

Guiding Principles

Pragmatic over idealistic.

Don't get fixed on details that don't matter. If you're unsure if a detail matters, ask.

Simple is usually harder than easy, but it pays off in the long run.

Engineer Hippocratic Oath - Do no harm to our customers and their data.

Benevolent Dictatorship - All ideas are welcome, but not all will be acted upon. We've got work to do.

"The map is not the territory" - Documentation is there to guide you to the code, which is the source of truth.
