Your company has reached the limit of using email. One contract was sent to the wrong recipient. An NDA was signed, but has sat in an unchecked shared inbox for the last two years. A client asked how you protect their data. You can sense the problem even before you are able to name it. […]

Most decisions about React CMS platforms are made in the wrong order. Teams select platforms that have a lot of stars on GitHub or platforms that simplify one developer’s process for creating a demo, not based on the needs of their users. Editors end up taking longer to publish content. Six months in, someone has […]

Most Node.js proposals begin with the wrong question. A vendor asks for the run time preference with a blank space for the product description, the intended customer, and the supply/demand of resources in production. You are ultimately asked to choose between Node.js, Python, Go, Bun, and Deno and it ultimately feels like picking from a […]

When a customer reset password question reaches your inbox for the fourth time on a Tuesday, the actual issue isn’t the question.

You have your mockups and maybe some early funding. By the third week of development, user accounts and business accounts become intertwined. Payment flows require code that people are unwilling to explain, and every new requirement means a total rewrite. Most first-time product owners learn the hard way that MVP architecture is not about frameworks. […]

Client portals are quietly failing. Client portals are launched and an email is sent. Clients log in, but the portal does not reduce support ticket volume. It is rare to find fault with the client portal software; usually, the software does not align with what the business actually needs. A client portal that is merely […]
