These values govern the way I craft this site and live my life:

  1. Ownership
    • Understand my stack and know how things work. Ignorance is not ownership.
    • Minimize external dependencies and exercise self-reliance. Avoid relationships that atrophy my skills and expertise.
    • Constantly learn as knowledge compounds.
  2. Integrity
    • Internal consistency from honesty is superior to complex state management from deception.
    • Do not misrepresent the truth and disclose matters of ethics and conflicts of interest.
  3. Authenticity
    • Build the right thing. It’s better to create slowly in the right direction than quickly in the wrong direction.
    • Write my own thoughts in my own words and properly credit when otherwise.
