Stop Hardcoding Business Decisions: Build Software That Can ChangeMost business logic ends up hardcoded deep in your app, and it’s slowly killing your codebase. What starts as a clean service grows into a bloated mess of if-else statements, feature flags, and ad-hoc patches no one dares touch. Before long, your services are "absolute units", ORM models do way more than map data, and you’re moving data back and forth like an unpaid intern, not a software engineer. How did we get here? The real problem: Business logic is treated like an afterthought When w…

Going Slow to Move Fast: The Secret to Accelerating Success in Software DevelopmentThe pursuit of speed often takes precedence over other considerations. Conventional wisdom dictates that faster is better, as it enables organizations to swiftly deliver products to market, outpace competitors, and generate revenue more rapidly. All of this is true.

Fragmentation in Software Development: The Silent Productivity KillerIn computer storage, fragmentation is a phenomenon in which storage space [...] is used inefficiently, reducing capacity or performance and often both. The exact consequences of fragmentation depend on the specific system of storage allocation in use and the particular form of fragmentation.
