You'll define how things get built, not follow someone else’s playbook. Six principles guide how the team works:

• 1% Better Every Day: small, compounding improvements across everything you ship.
• Customer Obsession: start with the customer and work backward.
• Ship Today: bias toward action and iteration over perfection.
• Find a Way: resourcefulness and ambition over constraint.
