Outside work
Thoughts
A few operating beliefs. They are deliberately short enough to be useful when a decision is live.
Execution
Confidence comes from evidence
It cannot always be a prerequisite for action.
Craft
Consistent, not perfect
Set the quality bar, ship what is needed to learn, then raise it from reality.
Systems
Habits over motivation
Design the environment so the useful choice is the easy repeatable one.
Character
Warmth without appeasement
You can be generous and playful while still having standards and saying no.
