Why we chose content strategy for product teams
Performance is a feature, not a post-launch concern. The teams that treat it that way ship faster and retain more users.

- Lighthouse scores matter, but they're a proxy. Real performance work means profiling on mid-tier Android hardware on a throttled connection — not a MacBook on broadband.
- Monorepos aren't for everyone, but if you're shipping a design system alongside multiple products, the tooling overhead pays off quickly in DX consistency.
Craft isn't about perfection — it's about knowing when good enough is genuinely good enough, and when it isn't.
