Paul A. Jones, Jr.Building software is a lot like building a house:
✅You need a solid foundation
✅Don’t skip the framing
✅Fancy UI (paint) can’t fix poor structure
✅Fixing bad plumbing later = expensive
Plan first. Build right.
A method that should’ve returned Auditable?
Yeah, it defaulted to object.
Everything compiled.
Everything failed.
Took me 30 minutes to realize the method wasn’t even wrong — it just wasn’t right enough.
Nothing exposes a programmer like trying to build a real-world application.
Not a toy app.
Not a demo.
A system someone depends on.
Suddenly the little things - like missing () - matter.
That’s where skill gets forged. 🔧🔥 #buildinpublic #saasdev
Test coverage is compound interest.
Every edge case you catch now is one less bug, one less support ticket, one more confident release.
Invest early. The payoff is peace of mind.#SoftwareEngineering #SaaSDev #CleanCode #TestDrivenDevelopment #DevLife #saasini

Built the whole RBAC system. Stored procs, audit logs, role mapping…
Then SQL threw a “role mismatch” error and gaslit me all evening.
Debugged until the keyboard blurred.
Fresh eyes today. Let’s finish this.
In fast-paced SaaS dev, unit tests aren't just insurance— they're leverage. Run them constantly. Automate the grind. Let tests catch regressions before your users do.” #SaaSDev #UnitTesting #BuildInPublic
Backend updates in place:
• Discovery reason now required when the rule calls for it
• Full logging added for success + failure
• Output parameters respected throughout
Laying the groundwork for more dynamic rule paths coming soon.
In legal apps, delete doesn’t always mean gone. Soft deletes preserve traceability, auditability, and reversibility — essential when data has legal implications. #LegalTech #DotNet #SaaSDev
New feature: granular subscription logic tied to jurisdictions + practice areas. Tailored tools for each firm = scalable SaaS.
