loading . . . Encoding Team Standards I have observed this pattern repeatedly. A senior engineer, when asking the AI to generate a new service, instinctively specifies: follow our functional style, use the existing error-handling middleware, place it in lib/services/, make types explicit, use our logging utility rather than console.log. When asking the AI to refactor, she specifies: preserve the public contract, avoid premature abstraction, keep functions small and single-purpose. When asking it to check security, she knows to specify: check for SQL injection, verify authorization on every endpoint, ensure secrets are not hardcoded. A less experienced developer, faced with the same tasks, asks the AI to “create a notification service” or “clean up this code” or https://conffab.com/elsewhere/encoding-team-standards/
