House rules

Three things every framework here has.

01

A diagram

If you can't draw it on a page, it isn't a framework; it's an opinion. Every entry begins with one.

02

A vocabulary

Five to seven named concepts, max. Enough to talk about the work; few enough that a new hire can hold them in their head.

03

A failure mode

Each framework documents how it breaks. If you don't know how it fails, you don't know how it works.
