Core
For software, add: rite-writing, token discipline, definition of done, preview review. Same muscle, different material.
- Taste as vocabulary, not mood.
- Seven-field briefs and stranger tests.
- Continuity documents, not hope.
- Curation when the factory is free.
- Enough tool fluency to predict the average.
- Stakeholder translation.
- Disclosure and likeness judgment.
What not to optimize
A zoo of logins. Model news. Speedruns of generation. Those are hobbies unless they serve a cut. The industry will try to test you on the zoo. Bring a death log instead.
