"The slide from “this tool helps me think” to “this tool thinks for me” is gradual enough that you don’t always notice it happening."

Everything I Learned About Productivity Disagrees With How AI Wants Me to Work

I built my productivity system over fifteen years. AI stressed it in six months.

The Long Commit

A new Blog section is now live on:

🔹 https://stackcompassguide.dev/blog.html

It contains articles about keeping architecture simple, avoiding overengineering, and recognizing common software anti patterns, based on real world decisions and tradeoffs. I will keep adding more over time.

If you are figuring out what to use and why, this might help or maybe even inspire you. 😉
I would really appreciate any feedback.

96% fewer out-of-memory (OOM) failures!

#Pinterest shared how it improved the reliability of its #ApacheSpark workloads.

By focusing on:
✅ Enhanced observability
✅ Configuration tuning
✅ Automatic memory retries

The changes addressed persistent job failures affecting recommendation systems and large-scale data processing.

Is your architecture really the problem… or is it communication? 🤔 In this #SAG2025 expert interview, Golo Roden dives into the trade-offs between #CRUD, #EventSourcing, and #DomainDrivenDesign – and reveals why many teams struggle not because of technology, but because they don’t truly understand their domain.

Residues and The Philosophy of Software Architecture

This bundle includes the books “Residues: Time, Change and Uncertainty in Software Architecture” and “The Architect’s Paradox: Uncertainty and the Philosophy of Software Architecture” by Barry M O’Reilly. The books complement each other, with Residues giving a practical description of how to apply residuality theory and The Architect’s Paradox giving a deeper philosophical explanation of the ideas, as well as an introduction to philosophy for developers as a bonus!

The fourth article in the Architectural Decisions series is out now ✅

This time, it’s about why simplicity often wins over unnecessarily complex architecture in practice. Why it’s better to start simple, avoid premature optimization, and when it actually makes sense to introduce complexity.

If you’re dealing with system architecture or thinking about better technical decisions, it might give you a new perspective, maybe help, maybe inspire. 😉
