Builder's Operating System

by Big Steele

How a working operator actually ships software, distilled from 26 shipped builds into a set of hard disciplines. Not theory or a framework someone else taught. The rules that produced the work, extracted from the work itself: how to frame a product, lock decisions, decompose into phases, build substrate-first, ship with real validators, and compound knowledge across builds. The judgment a senior builder runs on instinct, written down so an agent can apply it.
