Writing code feels productive. Tangible. Like progress.

But here’s the truth: Code is just a tool. And it comes with a cost.

Every line you write today becomes your team’s responsibility tomorrow.

Before you start coding, ask yourself: Is this really the best solution?

Sometimes, the right move is not writing code at all.

• 🔹 Could an existing tool solve this?

• 🔹 Is this a one-time problem that a manual fix can address?

• 🔹 Does the process need clearer documentation, not automation?

• 🔹 Are we sure this problem is even worth solving?

The best engineers don’t flex by shipping more code.

They create impact with fewer moving parts.
