Foundational Tenets

2025-12-17 23:15
  1. Why and what is more important than how
  2. Accountability (you build it, you run it)
  3. Keep it simple (rules and enforcement are last resorts)
  4. It all start with people (and communication)
  5. Foster Autonomy and Independence
  6. Embrace a little chaos
  7. Fail fast (and don't be afraid to do it)
  8. Meetings are tools, not goals
  9. Design patterns are battle tested
  10. If you don't know what you are doing you should probably take a step back
