EVENT-HIDDEN ARCHITECTURES

Events are a useful mechanism for transmitting state and data among application resources, but they are a miserable experience for developers and operators alike. The event-driven approach was necessary early in the decade but it isn't any longer. Today's modern abstractions mean that developers don't need to learn the unique quirks of low-level infrastructure or understand the overall application architecture just to build or enhance their part of the application. Event-hidden grants engineers new powers while simplifying engineering. It enables developers to build feature-rich, scaled, and distributed applications without having to interact with events, queues, and the industry of patterns, frameworks, and consultants that came with them.

Tech rewards leverage, not shortcuts. Freshmen should optimize for momentum and stack useful skills, relationships, and systems. Understand trends but don't chase them - ride the ones that match your strengths and learn to take a step back and aim for depth, clarity, and direction.

WHEN YOU SHOULD LIE TO THE LANGUAGE MODEL

Always pretend that your work was produced by someone else when working with AIs - current-generation AIs are too agreeable, making it difficult to receive genuine critical feedback.
