Hello, I'm Kuhrt
My Philosophy
./human-first
If people struggle with my application, they won't use it.
- Dig deep to find the real "why" – Most problems have been solved already, the art is understanding what we're actually building
- Accessibility is a requirement, not a feature – Great software works for everyone from day one
- UX/UI professionals are force multipliers – I rely on designers heavily because frustrated users don't become successful users. This also means nailing the implementation
- Automate the small friction points – The best solutions make tedious processes disappear entirely
./craft
Later means never - fix the code now or it decays rapidly
- Sign your work with pride – Taking ownership transforms code from "works" to "crafted"
- Business logic should be readable in code – If requirements aren't easily visible in code, something's wrong
- Testing code isn't optional – Testing can define requirements and small, testable functions create maintainable systems
- Small interfaces, deep implementations – Clean abstractions hide complexity, don't eliminate it
./impact
20% of features deliver 80% of the value
- Relentless focus on what moves the needle – Perfect execution on the wrong thing is still wrong
- Communication is a core technical skill – The right questions early prevent months of wrong solutions
- Root cause analysis over feature requests – What users think the problem is isn't always the problem
- Measure what matters, ship what works – Data-driven decisions separate successful products from feature factories
./growth
Agile means how fast a team can change direction when needed
- Change is inevitable – Great teams anticipate and adapt. Build systems and culture that embrace evolution, not resist it
- Lifetime learning is non-negotiable – Technology changes, curiosity is constant
- Leadership is service – Point the right direction, supply your team with what they need, and remove obstacles
- Trust is the foundation of velocity – Teams that trust each other, and what they can do, ship faster and better
