Developer-facing teams learn more and teach more honestly when they build and maintain the example themselves.Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://bhanu.dev/articles/every-technical-role-is-now-product-accountablehttps://bhanu.dev/articles/every-technical-role-is-now-product-accountableAs AI shortens the path from idea to first draft, technical roles have less room to stay detached from the customer problem and the outcome.Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://bhanu.dev/articles/the-technical-leader-in-an-ai-native-teamhttps://bhanu.dev/articles/the-technical-leader-in-an-ai-native-teamFaster first drafts change a leader’s job less than it first appears. The work is still to clarify the problem, test the trade-offs, and help the team act.Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://bhanu.dev/articles/how-to-run-an-architecture-reviewhttps://bhanu.dev/articles/how-to-run-an-architecture-reviewA useful review gives a team a better decision and a clear owner for the risks, not another meeting to get through.Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://bhanu.dev/articles/make-decisions-legiblehttps://bhanu.dev/articles/make-decisions-legibleA decision is easier to carry out when people can see the context, trade-off, and consequence behind it, not just the final answer.Tue, 20 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://bhanu.dev/articles/the-delivery-trianglehttps://bhanu.dev/articles/the-delivery-triangleA missed date usually has a story behind it: the scope moved, a dependency stayed unresolved, or the team was not solving the same problem.Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://bhanu.dev/articles/earn-complexityhttps://bhanu.dev/articles/earn-complexityBefore adding a queue, service, abstraction, or process, ask which present problem it solves and what it will cost the team to keep.Mon, 05 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://bhanu.dev/articles/architecture-decision-recordshttps://bhanu.dev/articles/architecture-decision-recordsAn ADR is most useful before a decision is made: it gives the people affected by a choice one place to challenge it, understand it, and revisit it later.Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://bhanu.dev/articles/optimize-for-reversibilityhttps://bhanu.dev/articles/optimize-for-reversibilitySome choices are cheap to revisit; others lock in cost, data, or organizational habits. Treating them alike is how teams get stuck.Mon, 15 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://bhanu.dev/articles/how-to-write-a-technical-spechttps://bhanu.dev/articles/how-to-write-a-technical-specWrite the spec early enough for someone to disagree with it.
