Fogo's design does not soothe—it exposes.
Other chains wrap latency like a fog around faulty reasoning.
Fogo takes away all the air, leaving every assumption exposed to the void of pure speed.
Developing here is working in a medium of disturbing honesty: the chain will not cover up your errors. It will not wait for your badly sized state to catch up.
It will not smooth out the clash of two people fighting for the same line of code. It will focus. It will take the nearly invisible friction of a global counter being incremented and a shared order book being updated, and will turn it into a magnified view.
This is not cruelty, it is honesty. Fogo provides an open field of logic where a surgeon's operating light is bright; it doesn’t care if the tissue is healthy or diseased.
Developers who thrive in this environment will understand that speed is not a feature you consume, it is a discipline you earn.You can't just walk users into the same corral and expect the gates to hold. You can't resolve contention by wishing the chain will blink. Fogo does not blink. It does the opposite: It does not act until you create a user world where no one touches—no one at the counters, no one in line, and no one in the transaction. Construct as if the machine will be merciless. Because that is what's going to make it work.
