Frameworks, and models.
Repeatable models for running delivery in the age of AI; not manifestos, but frameworks I use and refine in practice. Take what's useful.

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