Programmers face a software design dilemma hourly--I need to change this code, it's messy, do I tidy first? The answer is, of course, it depends. It depends on coupling/cohesion, economics, psychology, & teamwork: https://bit.ly/3UAuN5Q

👉🏼 The tech industry grew organically over the last few decades. We built new innovations on top of old. We evolved systems and technologies to meet new challenges. Decisions of the past became assumptions of today.

But what if we pause to check those assumptions? What if we disentangle the systems & re-architect them with new priorities, such as privacy-first and user-centricity?
