⚖️ How to Optimize Your Code for Change: Lessons Learned
Building a codebase that can adapt to ever-changing requirements is no easy task. In this talk, I'll share insights from three years of experience designing and evolving a system that prioritizes flexibility and maintainability. I’ll discuss key principles and decisions that helped me avoid common pitfalls and make it easier to scale and evolve the project over time.
You’ll walk away with practical approaches to designing code that can better handle the inevitable changes that come with growing projects—without sacrificing clarity or simplicity.
Join me to learn how thoughtful architecture and strategic decisions can prepare your codebase for the long term, while keeping your team on track and productive.
