    First job. SLA-driven tickets, hands-on troubleshooting. Learned to explain complex problems to people who just want their machine to work.

Three operating principles
01Complexity

Complexity is anything that makes software hard to understand.

It never arrives all at once. It accrues. One dependency, one special case, one shortcut at a time. Good design is the discipline of refusing each small increment.

A Philosophy of Software Design · John Ousterhout
02Craft

Don't live with broken windows.

A single sloppy fix, left in place, quietly tells the next person that this is the standard. Decay compounds from there. Repair the small wrongs before they become the norm.

The Pragmatic Programmer · Hunt & Thomas
03Leverage

Seniority is measured in leverage, not output.

The work that matters most rarely shows up as your commits. It's the bad decision caught early, the design unblocked, the engineer who levelled up because you were there. Multiply, don't accumulate.
