Architecture decisions are never purely technical. Every choice has tradeoffs — operational complexity, team bandwidth, business timelines.
Systems thinking applied to real problems — cloud migrations, monolith decomposition, performance investigations, and the trade-offs behind each architectural choice.
The cleanest architectural decisions aren't the ones where you evaluate all the options and pick the best one. They're the ones where a constraint eliminates the bad options and forces you to build something more durable than unconstrained choice would have produced.
