03 / working principles

Own the file.
When a tool creates something you care about, you should be able to move it, back it up, and open it without asking permission.

Make the useful cut.
Features earn their place by removing a real snag. The rest can wait.

Leave room for the person.
Good software gives you a surface to work on. It does not turn the work into a performance.

04 / keep the lights on

A small tip helps pay for the time behind the next tool, the boring maintenance, and the occasional piece of hardware that makes the work possible.
