The Core Krugerisms™

12 principles that form a complete philosophy of technical excellence and systematic problem-solving.

KRUGERISM #1
Trust No One

Validate everything, verify every integration. Professional verification beats blind trust.

KRUGERISM #2
Assume Nothing

Every assumption is a future bug. Test explicitly rather than assuming it will work.

KRUGERISM #3
Go Where the Humans Have Been

Systems don't randomly break. Trace human changes to find the cause fast.

KRUGERISM #4
Trust Yourself Least

Verify your own work with the same rigor you'd apply to others.

KRUGERISM #5
Straight Line Troubleshooting™

Five systematic steps: Recognize, Localize, Analyze, Eliminate, Clear.

KRUGERISM #9
We Are Not Firefighters

We are fire preventers. Design for resilience, monitor proactively, prevent issues before they occur.
