§ 01
Ownership over service routine.
I don't treat important projects like someone else's material that I
deliver as cleanly as possible and then check off. I work more like I'd
have to live with the result myself — because that changes the decisions
made along the way.
§ 02
Judgment over mere output.
Producing code has become easier, especially through AI. The real
question is no longer what you can build fast — but what you should
build, what carries, and what will come back to haunt you later.
§ 03
Product work over project administration.
Many digital projects are managed like projects when they should
actually be treated like products. I don't think in the next ticket,
but in the product itself.
§ 04
AI gives speed. Direction stays human.
I work intensively with modern AI-assisted development. That changes
my leverage massively. But I don't let it lead me.
AI makes many things faster. It just doesn't make bad decisions any better.
