The most fundamental goal of software design is to make code understandable. Understandable code is needed for correctness, security, and performance, as a lack of understanding leads to defects, security issues, and misguided performance optimizations. Focusing on understandability means making the code itself readable and providing supporting documentation to clarify complex concepts or system architecture.

THE END OF AIRPLANE.DEV

Airplane, an internal tooling startup, was acquired by Airtable, who plans to shut down the product. Despite a healthy runway and happy customers, the acquisition was likely driven by the CEO's desire for a less stressful role rather than any fundamental problems with the company. Employees were given strong but not outstanding offers at Airtable with short deadlines and no severance if they declined. Ultimately, the outcome was disappointing to its employees, since the product was abandoned and strong customer relationships were damaged in the process.
