Session
Most systems are built under constraints: legacy code, regulation, organizational boundaries, and long-term accountability. This talk explores how Staff+ engineers and tech leads can make sound architectural decisions when “perfect” isn’t an option. Focusing on platforms and tooling, it presents practical ways to identify real constraints, preserve flexibility, avoid over-engineering, and communicate trade-offs that hold up over time - technically and organizationally.
