Craft is Harder Than Ship.
Most of what makes software feel right isn't in the feature list. It's in the invisible layer — the spacing, the motion, the states nobody designed, the thousand quiet decisions made by someone who cared enough to look once more. No spec captures it. No framework provides it. No AI will do it for you.
Craft Manual is a working reference for that layer.
