Principle 8 of 14
Trust the Ecosystem
The inspection system as currently used by the Skunk Works, which has been approved by both the Air Force and Navy, meets the intent of existing military requirements and should be used on new projects. Push more basic inspection responsibility back to subcontractors and vendors. Don't duplicate so much inspection.
— Kelly Johnson, Skunk Works Rule #8
How We Apply This at Skunk Global
We build on WordPress because it works. We don't rebuild authentication, we don't rebuild database abstractions, we don't rebuild what the ecosystem already provides well. Our hosting partners handle infrastructure. WordPress core handles content management. We handle the product layer that makes our tools unique. Reinventing the wheel isn't innovation—it's waste. Focus on what only you can build.
