How I work

  1. Care about money and production.Payments reconcile to the right person, rules are tested against a real database, and decisions are written down.
  2. Write things down.A short update at the end of each day. Decisions live in the pull request or issue.
  3. I own what the agents write.Every change gets a pull request, tests and a real-browser check.
