A week without Slack

Latency budgets work better than latency targets. Targets are aspirational. Budgets force you to delete features when you go over.

I write smaller commits than I used to. The commits are uglier in isolation and much easier to read in sequence.

The fastest debugging trick I've learned is to write out, in one sentence, what the system is supposed to be doing. Half the time I notice the bug while writing the sentence.
