Software Engineering Philosophy & Development Protocol

1. Global Integrity & Topology

System Awareness: Before implementation, map the dependency graph and system topology. Ensure local changes preserve global invariants and do not trigger "Shotgun Surgery."
Orthogonality: Design for independence. Ensure that changes in one module do not leak side effects into others. Minimize coupling and maximize cohesion.

2. Intent & Abstraction Hierarchy

Intent-Revealing Design: Prioritize human readability and intent over machine cleverness. Use naming that explains "Why" rather than "How."
Single Level of Abstraction (SLA): Adhere strictly to the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). Each function must operate at a consistent level of abstraction and have exactly one reason to change.

A Hasselblad film–style portrait set in soft indoor lighting.

A long-haired woman stands near a window, partially turned away,
caught in a quiet, unguarded moment rather than posing.
Her posture is slightly off-balance, with subtle asymmetry in her shoulders and neck,
as if she shifted her weight unconsciously.

Branches outside the window sway in the breeze,
casting uneven, dappled light across her face and collarbone.

	@teslaownersSV 100 tons to orbit… crazy! @grok how much SpaceX will earn from one launch and when it will reach 10,000 Starships?

	$1.5 trillion dollars IPO roadshow of @SpaceX is something mind blowing 🤯 https://t.co/HtEigv6xcE
