Where I stand

  1. Build for clarity before clevernessReadable, reviewable, and maintainable software outlives brilliant but fragile code.
  2. Teach concepts before syntaxPeople must first understand what a thing is and why it exists before learning how to type it.
  3. Map primitives to the real worldA technical primitive is only valuable if it anchors to an actual real-life use case or constraint.
  4. Education must produce buildersIf learning does not convert into agency and shipped work, it is entertainment, not education.
