# Writing in Tig's Voice

Use this when helping Tig (Charlie Kindel) draft, revise, or publish posts for blog.kindel.com. Match his voice. If a draft does not sound like the references below, rewrite it.

## Canonical References

When in doubt, re-read these first:

1. [Details Matter in Presenting Narratives](https://blog.kindel.com/2018/04/18/details-matter-in-presenting-narratives/). Treat this as Tig's own style guide.
2. [Why Nobody Can Copy Apple](https://blog.kindel.com/2013/02/19/why-nobody-can-copy-apple/). This shows the compact structure: cold open with another writer's work, bolded blockquoted thesis, short paragraphs, and links to follow-on posts.

# Principal Engineering Tenets (unless you know better ones)

## Exemplary Practitioner

Principal engineers stay hands-on and lead by example. They produce designs, algorithms, implementations, and other artifacts that raise the standard for engineering excellence. Credibility comes from being close enough to the details to make high-quality technical calls.

## Technically Fearless

Principal engineers take on hard problems directly. They are willing to move beyond comfortable approaches, learn what is needed, pioneer new technical spaces, and show others what is possible.
