How I Build

I start by understanding the actual problem, then trace the system before changing it. My usual workflow is to reproduce the issue, identify the root cause, implement the smallest reliable solution, test the affected paths, and verify the result in the wider application.

  1. Understand
  2. Investigate
  3. Build
  4. Test
  5. Verify
