Design philosophy

Coherent thinking, coherent product

When one person owns the full stack, nothing gets lost in translation. Every decision serves the outcome. The product is coherent because the thinking is coherent.

Caring about precision

Precision is not expensive. It's mostly about caring. Do you care to make it precise? Then you can make it precise.

— Elon Musk
