You're in.

Your first email is on its way. While you wait, here's something to think about:

Every engineering team already runs an operating system.

It isn't written down — but it shows up in small, repeatable behaviors.

For example:

  • who gets interrupted first when something breaks
  • which decisions require consensus vs permission
  • what "done" really means under pressure
  • how risk is actually handled when timelines slip

If you had to name one unwritten rule your team follows, what would it be?

Complete this sentence:

"On our team, when ___ happens, we usually ___."

You don't need to submit this anywhere.

If you want to share it, just reply to the email you received — one sentence is enough.
