Writing
How I think about software.
Working Fundamentals is my guide to building software that stays understandable as the users, rules, data, and stakes keep changing.
Thirteen short chapters on state, data, boundaries, failure, testing, and performance — the decisions that decide whether a system is still workable a year later.
