Insights
Articles on product strategy, engineering principles, and building software that lasts.
Better Software writes for founders, operators and engineering leaders who are deciding what to build, how to build it, and how to keep it working once real customers depend on it. Each article comes from the work itself: scoping first versions in complex domains, choosing architecture that survives growth, and investigating the production issues that quietly slow teams down.
You will find practical guidance on MVP scope and prioritisation, technical debt and refactoring, incident investigation and reliability, and industry-specific software for healthcare, energy and finance. We also cover how AI changes day-to-day engineering, and where human product and engineering judgement still decides the outcome. Filter by topic or search below to find what fits your stage.
