Technical insights
Perspectives on architecture, engineering, and building systems that last.
Architecture
Why most architecture rewrites fail — and how to avoid it
The biggest risk in system modernization isn't the new technology — it's losing institutional knowledge. We explore incremental strategies that preserve context while moving forward.
Engineering
The case for boring technology in critical systems
Choosing proven, well-understood tools over cutting-edge alternatives is often the most responsible engineering decision. Here's how to make that case to your team.
DevOps
Observability is not optional: building systems you can understand
Logging, tracing, and metrics are not afterthoughts. We discuss how to design observability into your architecture from day one.
