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.
