I’m not anti-cloud, anti-AI, or anti-modern tooling.
I am anti-unexamined defaults.Every abstraction optimizes for something.
Cost, scale, speed, control, ownership, responsibility.
If you don’t know what a system optimizes for, you are probably paying for it somewhere else.Skepticism is not negativity.
It’s how engineers stay employed.#SoftwareArchitecture #TechSkepticism #HypeCycle #SystemsDesign #EngineeringJudgment #TechCulture #CriticalThinking #ByernNotes
