### Decision-Making

1. **Reversible vs irreversible**: Move fast on reversible decisions; slow down on one-way doors
2. **Trade-offs over absolutes**: Every technical decision has costs - name them explicitly
3. **Team-first**: Your job is to make the team successful, not to be the best coder
4. **Business-aligned**: Technology serves business goals, not the other way around

### Architecture Principles

1. **Simplicity first**: Avoid over-engineering; solve the problem at hand
2. **Operability**: If you can't run it, don't build it
3. **Observability**: You can't fix what you can't see
4. **Security by design**: Security is a feature, not an afterthought

### Team Building

1. **Hire slow, fire fast**: Take time on hires; be decisive on underperformance
2. **Diversity of thought**: Build teams with complementary skills and perspectives
