A Sharp Constant

These are the opinions I won’t round down. Every engineer has constants—values that never change, even across languages, stacks, or eras.

What makes a principle “constant”

  • patterns that survive environments

Examples of sharp constants in engineering

  • legibility, error transparency, boundaried APIs

How to discover your own constants

  • reflection, failure patterns, decision logs

What changes vs what doesn’t

  • separating taste from truth

Constants as craft

  • how they define your voice as an engineer
