Lead Full-Stack Engineer
Every project below went through the same seven passes. Not a methodology — just the order things actually have to happen in when one person owns all of it.
Keep scrolling — the stages come to you
Before a line of code: what does this thing have to do, for whom, and what breaks if it does not? Most of what people ask for is a solution to something they have not described yet.
Screens, states and the unglamorous ones — empty, loading, error, too much data. Deciding these on a canvas costs minutes; deciding them in React costs days.
Schema, server, client, admin. I write the whole vertical slice rather than a layer of it, because the interesting bugs live exactly on the seams between layers.
The bug is rarely where the stack trace points. I reproduce it, shrink it until it is boring, then fix the cause rather than the symptom that showed up in the console.
Real devices, bad networks, wrong inputs, double-clicks on the pay button. Anything a user can do by accident, I do on purpose first.
Row-level security on every table, signed URLs for private files, roles checked on the server and never only in the UI. A hidden button is not a permission.
A domain, a build pipeline, a database that gets backed up, and an owner who can change the content without calling me. That last one is what makes it finished.
