After my previous post introducing Post-Architecture, I received a bunch of positive feedback, as well as enquiries from people wanting to know more. So I figured a follow-up was in order. Feel free to ask questions here as well as on Mastodon!

This definitely resonates with me. Guess it helps that we've all probably been on both sides here. The last time one of our juniors did something overly complicated I showed them some code from an old commit I made years ago, and asked them to explain what it did - neither of us could figure it out in a reasonable amount of time 🤣

I vividly remember some of the garbage code I've written in the past. Huge interface definitions... Weird and brittle abstractions... Overly complex processes to do what should have been a simple task...

Funny thing is, I read and understood the same kinds of things as any other coder worth their salt: agile, SOLID, YAGNI, do one thing well, and so on -- but it was all just theory. It takes experience and mistakes to really grok it all.
