DEV

Software and web development from the side that has to ship it and then live with it. Architecture decisions with a cost attached, scoping, technical debt, hiring and vendor selection, and the AI tooling question every engineering team is now answering whether they planned to or not. Each episode takes one decision — rewrite or refactor, framework choice, build versus buy, how to scope a fixed-bid project honestly — and works through the tradeoffs, including the ones that only show up in year two
