As software engineers, we often debate where business logic should reside. Should it be entirely in the application layer (C#, Java, Python) or within the database itself? While modern trends often...

In modern software architecture, managing state is the hardest problem we face. Whether you are building a high-frequency trading platform or a simple e-commerce backend, the integrity of your data...

In the world of professional software engineering, the gap between a “script that works” and a “maintainable system” is defined by architecture. I’ve audited systems where business logic leaked int...

In modern software engineering, particularly within imperative languages like Java or C#, we are conditioned to think in terms of state changes. We instantiate an object, and then we modify it. How...

As software engineers and security researchers, we often encounter the same recurring structural problems: How do we manage object lifecycles securely? How do we decouple implementations to a...

In the transition from monolithic, single-threaded applications to distributed systems and high-concurrency environments, the rules of engagement change drastically. The deterministic nature of loc...

In the fields of software engineering and application security, we often focus heavily on architecture, algorithms, or vulnerability scanning. However, a massive, often overlooked factor in the sec...

If you write code, you are an API designer. Whether you are exposing a RESTful service to the world or simply writing a helper class for a colleague three desks away, you are creating an interface ...

In software engineering, code is read far more often than it is written. Over time, as features are added and deadlines loom, the internal design of a software system tends to decay. This is where ...

Software design is rarely a binary choice between correct and incorrect. Rather, it involves navigating trade-offs to achieve maintainability and flexibility. While strict rules can be rigid, desig...
