Kode Vicious: KV the Apostate
Faith-based computing versus the unnatural science
Whether we ask an LLM or a recent graduate to type the code is less important than knowing what the code does, how it was built, and when to look under the hood

Building Malleable Systems, not Future-Proof Ones: Design for Change
The code you write can’t possibly predict every change that comes along.
Code is like a house, and people have to live in it, often for much longer than you expect.

Escape Routes
Design your APIs carefully
#Software is almost infinitely fungible, but at some point you have to make choices and pin down what you want a thing to do. This is the art of #API design.
