ResultInput textWhy
Flag"Ultimately, it is our choices that define the system we build."Abstract generalization that wraps up abstractly with "ultimately".
Flag"That's the real challenge in any distributed system.""That's the X" closing flourish.
Pass"The build finished in 4.2 seconds."Specific and concrete - no moral framing.
Pass"We shipped it on Friday."Concrete action, not an abstraction.
