Building tools around developer ecosystems

Developer ecosystems are made of small decisions repeated across many projects. Good tools make those decisions easier to understand and easier to reuse.

Tools with a clear job

A useful tool should know what it is responsible for. That responsibility can be small, like parsing tags, or broader, like shaping an application runtime.

Ecosystem fit

Tools should fit the language and community they serve. For Go projects, that means clear APIs, practical abstractions, and behavior that stays easy to inspect.

Documentation as product

Documentation is part of the tool. The landing page, guides, examples, and release notes should help a developer understand the project without guessing.

Building in the open

Open source projects grow better when decisions are visible. The blog is a place to write down context as the projects evolve.
