Box structures force you to define what a module does, what it remembers, and how it works as three separate, verifiable layers.
You write the code first, then write the tests, then discover the code was wrong. That is the standard loop. It is also why debugging consumes half of most…
Architecture documentation rots the moment you save it. Here's how to keep docs honest using code-generated diagrams, ADRs, and automated architecture tests.
Every architecture diagram I've seen in a wiki was wrong. Not dramatically wrong. Just quietly, incrementally wrong. The service labeled "Auth" was split into…
You shipped an MVP in a weekend with Cursor, but now changing one color breaks 47 files. Here's the styling contract that stops the bleeding.
You opened Cursor, typed a prompt, and watched Claude Code generate a full React Native UI in seconds. Flex layouts, rounded buttons, color themes — all…
LLM code review is non-deterministic, slow, and misses architectural violations. Here's the O(1) guard stack that actually keeps your code clean.
A developer in my network set up Claude Code as his CI code reviewer. "Just have Claude check the PR," he told me. "It catches things I'd miss." I asked him to…
Refactoring AI-generated code means reverse-engineering intent you never had. Here's the interface-driven replacement pattern that makes deletes safe.
In biology, autotomy is when an animal sheds a body part that's no longer useful. A lizard drops its tail to escape a predator. The tail was useful once, but…
AI-generated auth feels fine until a new feature reaches into the wrong service.
One recurring failure mode in vibe-coded React Native apps is that a new feature imports an existing service directly, reaches into state it does not own, and…
