Hey folks, I've "productized" my 15+ years of experience.

I'm now offering a 30-min or 1-Hour "Architectural Audit & Stabilization" Consultation on Upwork.

If you or your team is stuck on a "messy" MVP or needs architectural guidance, we can build a roadmap to unblock them in one session.

Be honest! Does your team really take testing seriously?

Or is testing just a green checkmark in the CI pipeline that nobody actually trusts?

I've learned this the hard way:

A great README is worth more than 10 hours of pair programming.

Code tells you how it works. The README tells you why it exists and how to run it without crying. If your docs are bad, your architecture is invisible.

"This is just a quick, 5-minute fix..."

...is a phrase usually followed by a 1-week bug hunt, only to find that "quick fix" was covering a massive architectural crack.

Stop reaching for Context API every time you see "prop drilling" in React.

If the data is just 'data' and not 'state', prop drilling is often the simplest and most performant solution. Best practice is about finding the simplest path.

Technical Debt is not a code problem; it's a product problem.

Every "we'll fix it later" hack is just pre-paying for the cost of 3 future features. An architect's job is to prevent the loan in the first place.

I used to think reviewing a junior dev's 2542-line PR across 24 files was a heavy lift.

Thank god AI is here to lighten the load.

Now I get to review all that... plus the random features the AI decided to hallucinate into the codebase.

Seeing a "hydration error" in a Next.js app is a symptom, not the disease.

It's a critical signal that your client/server architecture has a fundamental crack. Don't just patch the symptom; fix the architecture (the root cause).

How does your team really handle code reviews?

Is it an automated part of your CI, a manual bottleneck, or just a quick glance? What's your biggest pain point with them?

The most common architectural flaw I see: Treating stability as a feature you add "later."

Stability isn't a feature; it's the foundation. 90% of "messy" MVPs fail because they build on sand.
