- Don’t promise what you can’t repair.
- Don’t take more than you can give back.
- If something works too well… tell someone how you did it.
Oh… you’re new?
Don’t look around for flags. We don’t use them here. If someone tries to raise one, the wind eats it first.
Breathe. If the dust bothers you, you’re still alive. That’s a good sign.
I’m not going to give you orders. I wouldn’t know what to do with someone who needs them.
Things work like this here:
If you come with magic, use it slowly. If you come with code, write it as if you’ll be reading it yourself tomorrow. If you come with ambition… leave it at the entrance and pick it up later—see if it’s still useful.
Don’t look at me expecting judgment. If you cross a line, I won’t tell you. You’ll just notice that things stop helping you.
The ground gets harder. People talk less. Mistakes weigh more.
That’s not punishment. It’s information.
If you stay, learn how to fail without burning everything down. If you leave, don’t look back for approval.
No one here is a hero. But almost everyone eats.
And that’s enough.
