&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Welcome to &lt;strong&gt;buildx.sh&lt;/strong&gt; — a place to build things and write down what worked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="the-mental-model"&gt;The mental model&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three knobs, always tuned together:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Effective&lt;/strong&gt; — does it solve the actual problem, end to end?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High performance&lt;/strong&gt; — is it fast enough to enjoy using?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fun&lt;/strong&gt; — would you reach for it again on a Saturday?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Drop any one of them and the project quietly dies. Keep all three honest, and small projects start compounding into a craft.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
