This website is a slowly growing collection of essays about software architecture, systems, change, and how decisions actually get made when the rules stop working.
The goal is not to provide answers, but to make better questions unavoidable.
Why many architectural debates fail before they start — not because of disagreement, but because participants are reasoning at different conceptual levels without realizing it.
A way to think about flexibility as a structural property rather than a personality trait, and why systems lose their ability to change long before anyone notices.
How irreversible decisions quietly accumulate, why “refactoring the whole thing” is rarely possible, and what it means for architecture to gain mass over time.
Why eliminating coupling is neither realistic nor desirable, and how the real architectural mistake is failing to recognize which commitments you are making permanent.
Why simple systems are not born but constructed, and how most complexity is not a technical failure but a cognitive one.
