Principle 9 of 14
Eat Your Own Cooking
The contractor must be delegated the authority to test his final product in flight. He can and must test it in the initial stages. If he doesn't, he rapidly loses his competency to design other vehicles.
— Kelly Johnson, Skunk Works Rule #9
How We Apply This at Skunk Global
We use our own products every day. SkunkCRM manages our contacts. SkunkForms captures our leads. If we won't use it, why would anyone else? Dogfooding isn't just about finding bugs—it's about understanding the user experience from the inside. When something frustrates us, we fix it. When something delights us, we double down. You can't design great products from a distance.
