Notes

Four things fifteen years keeps proving.

Tests

Writing excellent tests costs less than fixing bugs in production.

AI

AI amplifies great engineering. It does not replace it.

Architecture

The best architecture is the one that evolves gracefully.

Learning

The moment you stop learning is the moment you start falling behind.
