Dan Fike and Shawna Martell explain how "hidden decisions" silently shape software architecture and engineering culture. By examining the invisible defaults behind CI/CD bottlenecks, platform complexity, and misaligned metrics, they share frameworks for leading with intentionality. Learn to identify the "decision behind the decision" to better incentivize high-performing teams and careers.

TanStack Start has introduced a import protection, which aims to prevent server and client code from being mixed in full-stack React applications. This Vite plugin automatically checks imports during development and build processes. It blocks harmful imports by file naming conventions or explicit markers, enhancing security and reducing bugs without requiring additional developer input.
By Daniel CurtisIn this podcast Michael Stiefel spoke to Lorin Hochstein about how real-world failures provide insight into how software systems actually work. Our first topic was understanding that while automated fault injection tools can introduce basic robustness into a system, they cannot replicate the understanding that comes from mitigating complicated software failures in the real world.
