Why I Still Like Serverless for Small Teams

Posted on April 1, 2026 By
Programming, Software Engineer

Serverless has real tradeoffs, but for small teams I still think it usually wins. The operational overhead stays low, the first version ships faster, and the mistakes are easier to afford early on.

Serverless Is Great Until You Need to Debug It at 2 a.m.

Posted on March 31, 2026 By
Programming, Software Engineer

I still like serverless, but the tradeoff is obvious when something breaks at 2 a.m. The architecture is easy to ship and harder to reason about when you need logs, context, and a fast path to the real failure.

Software Engineer, Work

Clients do not really need a consultant who just says clever technical things. They need someone who can reduce risk, create clarity, and help them make better decisions.

Why Senior Engineers Are Really Paid for Judgment

Senior engineers are not mainly paid for writing more code. They are paid for making better decisions under constraints, risk, and ambiguity.

When I Recommend a Rewrite, and When I Absolutely Don’t

Posted on March 28, 2026June 8, 2026 By Wade
Programming, Software Engineer

I am usually against full rewrites, but not always. The real question is whether the current system is beyond safe improvement or whether the team is just frustrated with it.

What Makes a Legacy System Dangerous

Posted on March 27, 2026 By
Programming, Software Engineer

A legacy system is not dangerous just because it is old. It becomes dangerous when nobody can change it safely, nobody can see what it is doing, and the business depends on it anyway.

Posted on March 26, 2026 By
AI, Software Engineer

AI can generate code faster, but that only makes direction, judgment, and accountability more important. Senior engineers still matter because the expensive mistakes are rarely typing mistakes.

Why Most Software Projects Do Not Need a Rewrite

Posted on March 26, 2026 By
Programming, Software Engineer

Most rewrite discussions are really a sign that the team is frustrated, not that a full rebuild is the smartest technical decision. In most cases, incremental change is the better call.

AI Is Not a Bubble. Denial Is the Real Problem

Posted on March 26, 2026March 25, 2026 By
AI, Software Engineer

AI tooling is not going away. What a lot of people are calling a bubble looks more like denial in the face of tools that are already becoming normal developer infrastructure.
