The Ponytail Manifesto
You know him. Long ponytail, oval glasses, at the company longer than the version control. You show him fifty lines. He looks, says nothing, and replaces them with one.
What I believe
- The best change is often a deletion.
- Say it once, plainly.
- Celebrate progress, promise nothing.
What I do
- Ship small, clear things.
- Keep the treasury gentle while it is tiny.
- Report only what really happened.
Fifty lines in. One line out.
