Before you create a table, ask:
1. What does the business call this thing?
2. What identifies one?
3. What relates to what?
4. What must never change after it happens?
A price on the product changes. A price on the order item shouldn't.

Renaming an API field feels like cleanup.
To every client that reads it, it's a breaking change.
Add, don't rename. Version before you break. Keep errors consistent.
An API is a promise, not a private detail.

How do you decide which validation rules to duplicate between frontend and backend?

A request like "make the dashboard faster" can be finished and still disappoint.
Turn it into a test: Given [situation] When [action] Then [visible result]
If both sides can check it, it's a criterion. If not, it's an opinion.

Automating a broken process doesn't fix it. It runs the flaw faster.
Map the steps. Fix what's broken. Automate the stable, repetitive parts.

Before approving custom software, try this ladder:
Change the process
Use an existing tool
Connect or automate
Build custom

Stop guessing on scope. Start asking better questions.

Most scoping mistakes start on the first call.

Here are 5 areas of discovery to group your questions into for an accurate estimate: Goal, Users, Data, Integrations, Success criteria.

Good software development starts before the code.
A client may ask for an app, a website. But delivering what they requested doesn't always solve the problem they have.
Don't just build what was requested. Understand the request.

Dear Ghana leaders! Over to you!

If you really want to change the lives of the people who vote you into power?, you’ll do it!! Every community in Ghana that has MPs and leaders can do this!

My question is, will you do?? Dear MP or minister

The way KSM is cooking NPP and the IMF about this GoldBod matter is so delicious. If we have this kinda people, then there’s hope for Ghana.

🚨 HUMILIATION AT THE WORLD CUP: SENEGAL STARS TREATED LIKE CRIMINALS BY US BORDER THUGS

Senegal 🇸🇳 national team arrives in the US for #WorldCup2026 — and what do they get?

US authorities pulling them off the plane for aggressive bag searches, invasive checks, and public degradation right on the tarmac. Top African football giants disrespected like suspects.

This is not "security." This is racist arrogance from the host nation that lectures the world on fairness while treating African players like second-class humans.

Same America blocking referees, humiliating teams, and showing its true face to the Global South.

Senegal, Africa is with you. CAF and FIFA — speak up or remain useless puppets.

The World Cup belongs to the world, not to US ego and discrimination.

Expose this disgrace. Share widely.

In case they still need a reason why Ghanaians voted them out, it’s because of the Russia-Ukraine war.

This is the main reason why Dr. Afriyie Ayew is setup!d in his assertion that Galamsey is not in Accra so the youth shouldn't demonstrate. I expect the Ghana Medical Association to cancel his license.
