Open MyPantryPrinciples
- Supportability first: systems are judged by day-two operations, not install-day demos.
- Evidence over assumptions: logs, configs, traces, and repeatable checks drive decisions.
- Field realism matters: power, policy, wiring, time, and handoffs are part of system design.
- Repeatability wins: runbooks, checklists, and escalation paths should work under pressure.
- Practical automation helps when it improves reliability and operator clarity.
