The "Production-First" Philosophy
"I believe that an engineer's choice of tools directly influences the quality of their output. My setup is optimized for three things: speed, stability, and observability. If a tool doesn't make the feedback loop shorter or the system more reliable, it doesn't make it into the stack."
