A publication in preparation
Fewer, longer, better-argued essays about building software.
ModernDays will publish carefully edited writing for engineers and technical leaders: the reasoning behind decisions, not the announcement of tools.
Planned topics
Architecture
The case for boring queues
When a table and a worker are enough, and how to tell when they are not.
Tooling
What a lockfile actually promises
Reproducible installs and the cases where they quietly are not.
Reliability
Runbooks people open at 3 a.m.
Short, ordered and tested: what makes an incident guide usable.
Leadership
Code review as a teaching tool
Turning comments into shared judgement instead of gatekeeping.
Editorial standards
- Sponsorships, if any, are labelled at the top of the page.
- Corrections are dated and kept visible.
- Code in articles is run before publication.
