Branches, not drafts

A draft is a single shared surface that anyone can overwrite. A branch is a labeled point in time you can diff, review, merge, and revert. Marketing surfaces deserve branches.

Canaries before cannon

Never roll a new page to 100% of traffic in a single step. Canary at 5% for a day, 25% for another day, and 100% only when the Engine gives the all‑clear. Most regressions are obvious at 5%.

Rollbacks are a first‑class verb

If a rollback takes more than one click, you will not rollback. You will rationalize. Build the system so the rollback is cheaper than the rationalization.

Postmortems without drama

When a page underperforms, name the hypothesis, the evidence that disconfirmed it, and the revised prior. No heroes, no villains. Just an entry in the log that makes the next decision faster.

Rather see it than read about it?
