Technical writing on software engineering, architecture, and lessons learned from building production systems.

Redirect loops, users stuck on the wrong page, login forms for people already logged in. Getting guards right is mostly about one thing.

When the backend and the frontend each have their own copy of "the" config, they drift. One way to stop that.

Shipping an AI feature that works in a demo is one thing. Keeping it consistent, bounded, and safe in production is another.

The cache was wrong after every update. The write path had no idea the read path was caching.

One user action, one fetch. Except when it wasn’t—and why that kept happening.
