The Bloat Audit
No dependency is added without a full audit of its transitive costs and memory profile.
Governance
To build software that lasts decades, we need rules that protect the code from the "administrative violence" of quick fixes and fashionable churn. This page outlines the meta-rules for maintaining mechanical honesty.
Governance Pillars
Every abstraction must justify its performance cost.
Deterministic behavior is non-negotiable for core systems.
Stability is prioritized over developer convenience.
The Meta-Rules
No dependency is added without a full audit of its transitive costs and memory profile.
API changes must be backward-compatible for a minimum of one decade. We build infrastructure, not toys.
Performance regressions are treated as critical bugs. If the software slows down, it is failing.
Code must be legible to a first-principles mind. No "hidden magic" or disturbed abstractions allowed.
