Three things I didn't believe a year ago.
First, the stack is a rental. The craft is the asset. I spent too long falling in love with frameworks. They always leave you. What stays is the way you decide what to build, and how fast you can adjust when you're wrong.
Second, specificity beats polish. A rough thing aimed precisely at the problem outperforms a beautiful thing aimed at nothing. This is doubly true with agents. Vague prompts make vague code, and you cannot review your way out of vague code.
Third, weekly shipping is the only honest feedback loop. Theory is downstream of practice. The shortest loop wins, almost always.
None of these are about the tools I happen to use this quarter. That's the whole point.
