Working principles

Show the work.

  1. 01

    Build first

    Write from things that survived contact with a real project.

  2. 02

    Include the edges

    Trade-offs, failed attempts, and sharp corners belong in the story.

  3. 03

    Discuss in public

    Take the interesting questions to Hacker News and keep learning.
