How to design software that gets stronger under stress.

Precision builds are about predictability at scale: deterministic builds, hermetic CI, contract-tested services, and strict schema governance. By enforcing typed boundaries and reproducible tooling, teams eliminate drift and reduce mean time to recovery. When incidents occur, the system's design makes root causes observable and fixes straightforward.
Anti-fragility emerges when tests encode past failures as guardrails. Over time, the codebase becomes a memory palace of solved problems. The result is speed without chaos: faster iteration, fewer regressions, and confidence to refactor large surfaces.
