What the talk covers
Expect a builder-side framing: the operational decisions that look small in retrospect but were load-bearing at the time, and the few that turned out not to matter.
Who it's for
The audience that gets the most out of it is the one already shipping something — even small, even broken — and wanting a pattern language to refine it.
Correction-free logs is the only metric that aligns model output with what users actually wanted.
