• Deep empathy for developer workflows and integration pain points.

• Don’t ask for permission - we have a constraint culture, not a permission culture.

• Claim ownership of any work stream and set its goals/deadlines, rather than waiting to be assigned work or relying on job specs.

• Push & pull context on your work rather than waiting for information from others and assuming people know what you’re doing.

• Stay a small team - misalignment and politics scale super-linearly with team size. Small protocol teams rival much larger traditional teams.

Rejection of mediocrity & high performance

• Give direct feedback to everyone immediately - rather than avoiding unpopularity, expecting things to improve naturally, or trading short-term pain for extreme long-term pain.
• Embrace an extreme learning rate - rather than assuming limits to your ability / knowledge.
• Don’t quit - push to the final outcome, despite any barriers.
• Be anti-fragile - balance short-term risk for long-term outcomes.
• Reject waste - guard the company’s time, rather than wasting it in meetings without clear purpose/focus, or bikeshedding.
