About

>now
>catphilosophy.md

I believe good architecture should outlive frameworks.

01

Design for maintainability.

Good architecture makes future changes easier, not harder.

02

Automate the repeatable.

Engineering time should be spent solving problems, not repeating tasks.

03

Measure before optimizing.

Data should guide performance decisions, not assumptions.
