craft

  • Ship, then ship again. There is a pattern.
  • Write code the way you would write a sentence. Short. Clear. No filler.
  • The best engineers talk like writers.
  • Code alone is not enough. Build taste and aesthetics alongside it.
  • Passion carries you through the hard parts. Get rewarded anyway.

writing

  • Write to remember, not to impress.
  • The best articles are short, structured, and leave room to think further.
  • The answer is on the shelf somewhere.
  • If an old article bothers you, rewrite it. That happens a lot.
