PRINCIPLES // SYSTEM_PHILOSOPHY_v1.0

MINDSET & CURRENT STATE

Francis Alcos: Software Engineer & Endurance Athlete. Applying algorithmic rigor to physiological and professional systems.

Operating Principles

01. Compounding

Optimize for long-term compounding. Small daily increments in code quality and VO2 max yield exponential dividends over decades.

02. Reliability

Prioritize reliability over novelty. Boring technology and proven training protocols win through uptime and consistency.

03. Extreme Ownership

The system is the responsibility of the operator. Errors are data points for immediate correction, not excuses for failure.

04. Data Over Emotion

Subjective feeling is a secondary metric. Decisions are rooted in quantifiable biometrics and deployment logs.

05. Iterative Refinement

The first draft is a baseline. True performance is found in the 100th refactor and the 1000th repetition.
