Everything we have written on Architecture.
How trades, construction, and field-service businesses move off whiteboards and spreadsheets to job scheduling, mobile apps for crews, offline support, quoting, and photo capture.
Accounting firms, consultancies, and agencies run on spreadsheets and a dozen disconnected tools. Here is how custom web apps and integrations replace the duct tape without a painful migration.
How a good team builds production tracking, inventory, and dashboards that talk to your ERP and MES, replaces aging on-prem systems, and stays reliable on the shop floor.
A founder's honest guide to building an online course platform: the MVP, the hard parts (video and access), realistic costs, and what to skip at launch.
Our opinionated default architecture, the reasoning behind every piece, the complexity we deliberately avoid, and the specific moments we deviate from it.
How to build a B2B quoting tool that sales actually uses: pricing logic, approvals, PDF output, the hard parts, plus rough timelines and costs.
A plain-spoken guide for founders hiring a web dev agency: what to look for, how to read a proposal, and the red flags that cost you later.
Tenant isolation, auth, billing, and the scaling traps most teams hit. An honest field guide to building a multi-tenant SaaS that survives growth.
Multi-tenancy is one application serving many separate customers from shared infrastructure, each kept isolated from the others. Here is what it means and why it matters.
Native app or progressive web app for your first release? An honest decision framework on app stores, device APIs, budget, and what a PWA can do in 2026.
Technical debt is the long-term cost of shortcuts taken to ship software faster. Here is what it really means, where it comes from, and how a team pays it down.
Chat, presence, live dashboards: how real-time apps actually work, the hard parts teams underestimate, the stack we pick, and rough costs.
A practical checklist for vetting a dev team or agency, with what a good answer sounds like and the red flags that should make you slow down.
How a good team audits, stabilises, and takes over a half-built or abandoned codebase without a needless rewrite, and how to spot what is salvageable.
A plain-language guide for non-lawyer founders: what counts as PHI, the engineering practices that support HIPAA, what it does not magically require, and the honest framing nobody else gives you.
How to fetch data in React Server Components without waterfalls, prop-drilling, or a client cache library. Real Next.js patterns and trade-offs.
Four caches, one mental model. How the Data Cache, Full Route Cache, Router Cache, and Request Memoization actually behave, and how to make them do what you want.
Practical rules for REST APIs that survive years of change: stable contracts, honest status codes, cursor pagination, and versioning you can actually maintain.
Server Components, client islands, and the static-to-dynamic spectrum. A field guide to where your code actually runs in the Next.js App Router.
How to build multi-tenant SaaS that stays simple as you grow: choosing an isolation model and enforcing tenant boundaries in Postgres.
When to push work off the request path, how to choose a database queue or Redis, and how to write a worker that survives crashes and retries.
A practical CI/CD setup for teams of two to five. Fast checks, deploy on green, and the few guardrails that keep it from rotting six months later.
You do not need LaunchDarkly to ship behind a flag. A Postgres table, a cached read, and a typed helper get you most of the value.
Most test suites are either too thin to catch bugs or so bloated they slow you down. Here is a layered strategy that finds real bugs without turning CI into a tax.
Edge and regional servers solve different problems. The real question is where your data lives and how much compute your request needs, not which one is trendy.
How to move a Pages Router app to the App Router without a big-bang rewrite: run both routers side by side, port routes by traffic, and avoid the common traps.
Monorepo versus many repos is a tooling and team decision, not a religion. Here is how to pick the boring option that will not haunt you in eighteen months.
A plain-spoken guide for founders on timelines, rough costs, and the tradeoffs of building a web app, so you know what you are signing up for before you start.
A practical guide to deciding when to build an internal tool, when to buy or assemble one, and how to avoid the spreadsheet-to-disaster pipeline.
A founder's honest guide to building a two-sided marketplace: the real scope, rough costs, timelines, and the parts that quietly eat your budget.
What actually matters when you build a fintech web app: compliance scope, money math, auth, audit trails, and the timelines and costs nobody quotes you up front.

What replatforming a legacy web app actually costs in time and money, how to avoid the big-bang rewrite trap, and what to watch for before you sign anything.
A practical guide to handling traffic spikes: what actually breaks first, the cheap fixes that buy you time, and the rough costs and tradeoffs of each step.
A plain-spoken guide for founders on picking a tech stack: the real tradeoffs, rough costs, realistic timelines, and the choices that quietly cost you later.
