As a software developer, I’ve found that most of my work revolves around uncovering the constraints of a problem, asking the right questions, doing just enough exploration to understand what’s truly worth working on, and letting those boundaries guide the solution. The ideas behind Surface Tension resonate deeply with this process. Constraints aren’t blockers; they’re the framework that shapes meaningful progress. This perspective has fundamentally changed how I approach my work.
Is there some kind of "Constraint Driven Design" pattern that one can follow when doing... anything? Is it good for specific domains?
Do you have insights about constraints when working with LLMs?
