Episode notes
Intentionality Is A Learning Loop
- Intentionality means stating your plan and expected outcome before acting, then measuring and reviewing results.
- This prevents revisionist history and accelerates learning from real outcomes.
Question Tickets Before Coding
- Before you fix a ticket, ask “Should I even be working on this?” and verify the requirement first.
- Push back when the ticket reflects preference or incorrect requirements rather than a true defect.
Don't Ship Mystery Fixes
- Experiment, but never ship code you don't understand; verify why a fix works before merging.
- Remove trial code if it causes intermittent issues and replace it with a comprehensible solution.
