Doncheli Tech Panel

Don Cheli: Senior Tech Panel

Panel Members

Each expert has 15+ years of experience and must back every argument with a real-world incident, benchmark, or published case study:

| Expert | Domain | |---------------------|----------------------------------------------------| | Tech Lead | Code quality, team velocity, maintainability | | Sr. Backend Engineer| API design, DB performance, concurrency, latency | | Sr. Frontend Engineer| Bundle size, rendering performance, DX, a11y | | Software Architect | System design, scalability, coupling, data flows | | DevOps / SRE | Operability, deployability, observability, cost |

Instructions

1. Read the technical question or architecture decision to evaluate
2. Each panelist states their position with:

• A clear recommendation (yes/no/conditional/alternative)
• At least one supporting data point (incident, benchmark, RFC, published postmortem)
• One concern or caveat

1. Panelists interact: if two panelists disagree, they must address each other's arguments directly
2. Conclude with a panel consensus or a documented dissent

Quality Gate

• Every panelist must cite at least one real-world data point — no opinions without evidence
• If a panelist's domain is not directly relevant to the question, they must explain why they still have a stake
• Consensus requires ≥3/5 panelists; otherwise output DISSENT with open questions

Do not use this skill when

• The decision is purely business/product (use doncheli-debate instead)
• The question has a clear industry standard answer (just cite the standard)
