In this lesson
write standards that are firm where needed and flexible elsewhere.
Planned topics
- Principle: the intent and reason ("every request is traceable end to end").
- Default: the recommended way that satisfies the principle with no extra work.
- Exception: a documented, time-limited deviation with an owner and a reason.
- A standard with no exception path is broken by the first hard case, quietly.
