Three constraints before I build anything

- Write a one-pager for all ideas to limit complexity and ambiguity; it serves as the north star and communication tool, and if an idea requires more than one page, it's too complex to build.
- Develop separable core technology that supports the product and is not the product itself, ensuring real leverage, originality, and long-term compounding value independent of product pivots.
- Define one front-and-centre constraint that shapes the product's identity, limits feature creep, and permeates the user experience to avoid bloat and focus on meaningful problems.
