Claude Code has a bias for working as the lone ranger. Asking a few questions and then generating a big plan.
Sometimes thats on but often not.
So I built a small command to make it work in a step-by-step mode.
Pretty happy with the results

You did microservices. But did you? Do you really have a distributed monolith instead? In this video, @DavidBoike provides a roadmap to microservices that avoid the pitfalls of coupling that slide toward the pit of distributed monoliths
This is an increasing problem that needs regulation.
The big tech coβs have become so big, so powerful, but also so careless.
All while weβve trusted them with more and more of our work and lives.
Which they can take away in an instant, βwithout recourse.β
Gmail and Google Workspace emails cut off emails arbitrarily after they reach the 102kb limit. Then they make reading the full email a bad user experience. There is no way to turn this off - not even for paying Google Workspace customers.
What email platforms do NOT do this?

The modernization progress illusion is an almost universal pattern I've observed over the past decade.
You can make quick progress early by building new things outside the legacy or extracting pieces on the edges that have few dependencies.
Quick wins, low risk.

Good abstractions hide the irrelevant and simplify the essential.
Bad abstractions hide the essential and complicate the irrelevant.

Phase 1: Learn Domain A accesses Domain B's data in the legacy directly
Phase 2: Migrate The concept is validated, so migrate required logic to Domain B, create an interface, and migrate Domain A's dependency on the legacy to the new interface.
Legacy-leveraged learning phase is the name I use for a pattern we've been using at PayFit in a few places recently.
This pattern is controversial because it violates my most important modernization principle: respect domain boundaries.

No, Your Domains and Bounded Contexts Donβt Map 1 on 1. It sounds clean and logical, but itβs wrong. Read about it in my latest article: verraes.net/2025/08/doma...
Every service class in a piece of software I see is just a place where mid-devs hide proceedural implementation due to chronic under-design.
Can't name the thing? Service!
Don't know what your abstraction is? Service!

The book Upstream by Dan Heath is worth a read (author of Switch and Made to Stick)
The premise is thinking upstream to solve systemic issues to avoid βproblem blindnessβ (when you canβt see something right in front of you because youβre so used to the problem)

I talk to teams about the "self-fulfilling prophecies" of Test-Driven Development, but there's one that's implied but I don't know if I've seen it explicitly stated before.
If we're only writing code needed to pass our tests, then *all* of our code will be in the call stack of the tests

An educated guess is this is a migration gone terribly wrong⦠again, thanks to assuming they can do a sloppy migration with long downtime.
The way you do migrations well is planning for zero downtime. Or the very least have a robust rollback plan. More: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/migrations

Tuco assembles his perfect gun from multiple other guns.
In the #MWNN you are free to choose whichever processes you feel will help your team succeed. Like Tuco does to assemble his perfect gun. To me this extremely light weight methodology, best fits the agile manifesto's number one value "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools".
