A small tool for big diffs

Alex Lin · Jan 8

Latency budgets work better than latency targets. Targets are aspirational. Budgets force you to delete features when you go over.

I write smaller commits than I used to. The commits are uglier in isolation and much easier to read in sequence.

I trust monorepos more in the second year than I did in the first. Most of the early friction goes away once the tooling catches up.

Most of the trouble I see in production comes from boundary cases someone promised would never happen. The code is fine. The plan is fine. The promise is what ages badly.
