If you don’t understand what matters in your domain, you’ll waste time polishing the wrong parts.

In AdTech, milliseconds and malformed VAST XML matter more than beautiful abstractions. If I were in game dev or finance, it’d be something else.

Good taste comes from knowing where to be precise and where to be pragmatic I believe.

Reading other people’s code — especially well-crafted open source projects — helped me internalize patterns, see alternate approaches, and spot elegance.

You learn what not to do just as much as what to do.
