TL;DR / Key Takeaways Introduction Design patterns are like seasoned colleagues: helpful when invited to the right meetings, distracting when they show up everywhere. The Gang of Four (GoF) patterns still add real value—especially in cloud‑native systems—when you pick them intentionally. This guide translates core GoF patterns into modern use, shows when not to reach […]

TL;DR / Key Takeaways Introduction Every time a simple change forces you to wade through unrelated code, you’re paying a tax for poor separation of concerns (SoC). As systems scale—teams, features, deployments—this tax compounds. Good separation reduces cognitive load, accelerates delivery, and makes reliability practices (testing, observability, security) practical. This post turns SoC from a

TL;DR / Key Takeaways Introduction If you’ve ever stared at a codebase and thought, “Why is this so complicated?” you’re not alone. Most of the time, complexity isn’t malicious—it sneaks in through “just in case” features, copy‑pasted fixes, and clever abstractions that outgrow their usefulness. Three simple guardrails help keep us honest: KISS (Keep It

TL;DR / Key Takeaways Introduction In software development, the SOLID principles serve as fundamental guidelines for creating maintainable, extensible, and robust code. Originally articulated by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) and formalized as the SOLID acronym by Michael Feathers, these principles have stood the test of time across different programming paradigms and architectural patterns. This
