Principles

How I Work

Some principles I try to follow in work and life.

Start from first principles

Question assumptions until you hit bedrock.

Simple beats clever

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it.

Measure what matters

Data beats arguments.

Skills are trainable

If it matters, you can drill it.

Be kind and direct

Say what you mean.

Say 'I don't know'

Then go find out.

Ship things you're proud of

Quality is not negotiable.

Small consistent wins

Habits beat heroics.

Less, but better

Keep only what earns its place.
