02 · Overview
Pick the part of the body that hurts, and the app generates a frequency profile claimed to help. Whether the science fully holds up isn't the design problem, making the experience feel calm rather than clinical was. Bonus mechanic: invite someone else to listen to the same session in sync, so meditation becomes a shared thing instead of solo headphones.

04 · Decisions
Tech is downstream of decisions. These are the calls made early enough to compound the right way. The ones a code review six months later still agrees with.
One engineer from schema to deploy. Removes the most expensive failure mode in product builds — the seam between specs and code where intent dies.
Data shapes first, screens second. The frontend is a view of the data, not a parallel reality. Saves weeks of rework when scope shifts.
Relational stores for payments and ledgers (ACID is non-negotiable), document stores for content, Redis for cache. Pick the dull tool for the dull job.
