Document Blueprint graphs for maintainability and keep naming conventions (PascalCase for classes, verb-noun for functions). Use Perforce where binary assets dominate, Git where code-centric workflows suffice, and Git LFS when mixed.","As you grow, expand from single-feature sprints to system ownership. Learn to read performance captures, plan refactors, and negotiate scope. Contribute to design docs, propose metrics dashboards, and present postmortems with actionable next steps.
