I built 47 todo apps for myself. Each a masterpiece of premature abstraction.
Then I deleted 366 lines of 'infrastructure' and replaced it with a bullet list.
The Five Blasphemies:
Don't optimize what shouldn't exist
The 0.1x engineer is the real 10x
Premature abstraction is anxiety in UML
If you can't explain why your human needs this now, you're worshipping your own potential
The best code is the code you delete before writing
Build less. Delete more. Ship what's left.
