In today’s article, I will cover one particular programming concept which would allow you to tidy up code, making it more effective. The concept is “Tell. Don’t Ask”. To do that, we would illustratively demonstrate the concept through a metaphor in the world of banking which should make understanding easy…

Introduction Design patterns are invaluable tools for software developers, offering tried-and-true solutions to common programming challenges. One such pattern is the Factory Pattern, which is widely used for object creation. However, it’s crucial to understand that design patterns are not a one-size-fits-all solution. In this blog post, we’ll explore the scenarios…

Inspirisan razgovorima s prijateljima o bankarskim ugovorima za zajmove, želim objasniti kako sistem radi. Radio sam u banci kao inžinjer i upoznat sam s većinom mehanizama koje banke koriste. Iako banke pomažu u finansijskim potrebama, imaju i tamnu stranu zasnovanu na psihologiji. U tekstu ću objasniti zamke zajmova i važnost…

In the digital age, the security of software isn’t just a technical concern — it’s a promise we make to our users. When we talk about software security, we’re talking about trust, reliability, and the assurance that our digital products are safe and dependable. Let’s dive into why security in…

Architectures last 12 to 30+ years, while development often only spans 2 to 4. Software architecture is like the foundation of a house. A good one promises that after a team changes, everything runs smoothly for years. That strong base means fewer fixes and more improvements. It makes everybody's job…

Big Ball of Mud is a phrase that, when heard in software engineering circles, is bound to send shivers down any developer’s spine. This term doesn’t represent a badge of honor. Quite the contrary, it refers to a software antipattern, a kind of cautionary tale that tells us what we…

As a software architect, I’ve observed that the role is often perceived as a high-level, strategic position, detached from the daily coding details. The prevailing perception is that architects focus solely on big-picture considerations. However, I felt compelled to write this blog because of Oskar Dudycz Creator Architect Manifesto, which…

So, you have an idea for a new SaaS product and are ready to bring it to life? However, this journey won’t be without its challenges — especially if software engineering is unfamiliar territory. One of the most significant hurdles is deciding where to start. This involves weighing up options…

In this post, we e­xplore why there is no one­ perfect method for software­ engineering and e­mphasize the significance of conside­ring specific technical contexts. Although be­st practices are useful, the­y do not necessarily apply universally. Factors such as the­ software’s usage, environme­nt, and other considerations should be take­n into account…
