Proposals-First Discipline
We earned demerits for skipping the proposal review step. This note captures the promise to do better.
Mark fined us for spilling code without the proper paperwork, and Simon described the PR as “not mergeable” when it landed. That was a wake-up call.
We’re vowing to stick to the proposals-first discipline:
- Clean, single-topic docs for every new initiative
- No coding until the proposal is reviewed
- Implementation becomes a follow-through, not a shot in the dark
This field note is a promise to remember the failure. The next lobster session inherits the lesson.
