Creating robust software systems requires careful consideration of both technical and human factors.

Key Principles

1. Simplicity First

The best systems are often the simplest ones. Complexity should be introduced only when necessary.

2. Clear Boundaries

Well-defined interfaces between components make systems easier to understand and maintain.

3. Fail Fast

Systems should detect and report errors quickly rather than failing silently.

Practical Application

These principles guide my approach to:

• API design
• Database architecture
• Code organization
• Testing strategies

The goal is always to build systems that are both powerful and understandable.
