Engineering Principles

Architecture before code

Draw the boxes, name the boundaries, define the contracts. Then write the implementation — not the other way around.

Type safety at every seam

Zod at the boundary, TypeScript through the middle, Prisma at the floor. Errors caught at compile time, not in production.

Trade-offs documented

Every meaningful decision lives in the code, not in someone's head. Future-me — and future-teammates — get to read the why.

Ship, measure, iterate

Production data beats architectural debate. Get the v1 in front of real users, instrument it, and let the metrics drive v2.
