Our Principles

How we approach technical content creation and knowledge sharing

🎯

Real constraints first

Start with actual limitations and requirements before exploring solutions

🔍

Show working, not just result

Demonstrate the process and reasoning behind every implementation

⚖️

Separate fact vs assumption

Clearly distinguish between proven facts and working assumptions

⚠️

Note limits & failure modes

Document when solutions break down and their operational boundaries
