Anastasios Orfanidis
Build. Teach. Organise.
I believe in craft, curiosity, and not pretending broken things are fine.
Craft
- Humility Stay grounded, however strong you become
- Ownership If I shipped it, I answer for it
- Curiosity Read the source when the docs run out
I practise software as a craft. Artisan code, written test first, in pairs, reviewed every day, and never changed before it is understood.
Good engineering is more than the code. It is communication, and it is keeping the product and the person using it at the centre of every decision. AI writes code fast now. Craft is still slow human work, and that is the work I do.
