01
Boring technology is usually the correct technology.
We prefer tools with stable release histories, broad hiring pools, clear failure modes, and documentation that will still exist when the original team has moved on.
02
One-way-door decisions go into the architecture document.
Data stores, deployment topology, authentication, tenant boundaries, and integration contracts are written and reviewed before implementation begins.
03
We maintain what we ship.
The delivery plan includes observability, upgrade paths, handover notes, and practical ownership boundaries. Production is part of the build, not a separate concern.
