I write about modern software systems where failures rarely announce themselves:
trust models that no longer reflect how systems actually operate
security layered on top of assumptions that made sense once
CI/CD pipelines that quietly became part of the production attack surface
observability that shows activity, but not intent or ownership
Most posts here aren’t tutorials or tool comparisons.
They focus on how architectural decisions age, how systems drift over time, and why failures often emerge not from bad choices — but from unchallenged continuity.
If you’ve ever:
inherited a system that “worked” but no longer made sense
sat in a security review that felt disconnected from reality
suspected the real problem wasn’t tooling, but trust
—you’ll probably feel at home here.
I’m currently publishing a short series on trust, identity, and failure modes in modern cloud systems. You can start anywhere, or begin with the pinned post.
Thoughtful disagreement is welcome.
Good questions are encouraged.
