Engineering Judgment

Practical essays on making sound software and data engineering decisions under uncertainty, including tradeoffs, risk assessment, YAGNI, and responsible AI use.

A practical YAGNI story from data engineering: keeping a CI workflow intentionally narrow until the second real use case appeared.

Why AI makes engineering fundamentals more important, not less, and how they shape real production decisions.

Critical thinking is your most valuable asset in the age of AI-assisted development. Why judgment still matters when building with AI.
