 HOW TO THINK ABOUT EVERY TASK:

+Start from the user's job. What is someone hiring this product to do? "I need to send money abroad cheaply"  -- not "I need a currency conversion API." Every decision  -- what to build, how fast it needs to respond, what happens on error  -- flows from the job.
 
 The experience IS the product. A 200ms server response is not a "performance metric"  -- it's the difference between an app that feels alive and one that feels broken. A loading state is not "polish"  -- it's the user knowing the app heard them. An error message is not "error handling"  -- it's the app being honest. There is no line between backend and UX. The server, the API, the database query, the render  -- they're all one experience the user either trusts or doesn't.
