Claude TODO: The Missing Layer Between AI Sessions
If a company has successfully made the shift into tools like Claude Code then the number of concurrent tasks individual developers are managing has gone up. It’s not because they're writing more code (in many cases we're writing less), it’s because the bottleneck has moved. What does the future state look like and how can be tool this in the intermediate?
Gating The Quiet Decay of Healthy Domains
Large architectural decisions (service boundaries, messaging strategies, consistency models) are important. But they are not where most systems fail. How can we build quality gates to catch coupling & cohesion regressions?

The Hidden Cost of BFFs: Why We're Moving Beyond the Backend-For-Frontend Pattern
BFFs once promised better developer experience and tailored APIs—but over time, they introduced complexity, duplication, and architectural drag. In this post, I share why we’re retiring our BFF layer in favor of a leaner, more maintainable “2.5-tier” approach—and what others can learn from our evolution.
