Q. 01
When laying the foundation for something new, what principles do you refuse to compromise on?
A. I do not build for perfect conditions. I build for when things go wrong. If data, state, and UI are not reliable from the start, everything else becomes harder later.
Q. 02
How do you ensure an app still feels rock-solid even when conditions aren't perfect?
A. I remove randomness. Everything should behave the same way every time, no matter the state. If something can fail, it should fail in a controlled and predictable way.
Q. 03
What details do you think make the biggest difference between a good interface and a great one?
A. Small things that most people skip. Loading states, empty states, error handling. If those are done properly, the whole product feels more solid without adding anything new.
Q. 04
How do you leave a codebase in a better place for the next person who has to read it?
A. I keep things obvious. The goal is that someone can open the file and understand it without guessing how things are connected.
Q. 05
How do you bridge the gap between getting a broad feature request and actually executing it?
A. I reduce it to something simple first. Once the structure is clear, I build it in a way that does not need to be reworked when new requirements come in.
Q. 06
Claude vs ChatGPT?
A. Claude is generally better for coding and producing cleaner, more structured results. ChatGPT is more accessible and has a usable free mode, which makes it easier for daily use and faster iteration.
