- Clean architecture over clever code — readability compounds.
- Every API is a product. Design it for the consumer, not the implementer.
- Testing is not overhead; it is the specification made executable.
- Deploy early, deploy often — CI/CD as a first-class engineering practice.
- Horizontal scaling is designed upfront, not bolted on under pressure.
- Security by design: threat-model before you type a single line.
