Reference

This section is my engineering glossary + mental models.

When I publish Guides and Deep Dives, I link back here so you can refresh concepts fast.

What belongs in Reference

• Definitions that are easy to get wrong (idempotency, delivery semantics, consistency)
• Short mental models (when to use which pattern)
• Pitfalls and “gotchas” that don’t deserve a full deep dive

How to use it

• Read it when you want clarity quickly
• Treat it as supporting material for Guides and Deep Dives
• Link to it when discussing architecture with your team
