About

How I think and work.

AI makes the first draft cheap. Judgment, tests and production habits make it good.

  1. 01

    Translate

    Turn a fuzzy requirement into a clear model of the problem before writing any code.

  2. 02

    Learn fast

    Pick up unfamiliar domains, chains and stacks quickly, then ask the sharper questions.

  3. 03

    Build with AI

    Use AI-assisted development for speed, and keep tests, review and judgment in the loop for quality.

  4. 04

    Ship

    Observability and failure handling from day one, so it still works when it meets production.

Production is where theories go to get character development.

Simple systems are harder to build than complicated ones.

If I did it twice by hand, the third time is a generator.
