You Can’t Future-Proof Software (But You Can Contain Change)

Ever ship “clean” code… then one small change turns into a massive refactor? Most systems don’t break because of bad code, they break because change spreads through the codebase. Software architecture and software design principles that make change local: how to avoid vendor/domain coupling (Stripe is a great example), why collapsing concepts creates hidden complexity, and how vertical slices help keep volatility contained. If you want software that survives changing requirements, the goal isn’t to future-proof, it’s to contain change. 🔗 Kurrent (formely EventStoreDB) https://kurrent.io 🔔 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3RKA4vunFAfrfxiJhPEplw?sub_confirmation=1 💥 Join this channel to get access to a private Discord Server and any source code in my videos. 🔥 Join via Patreon https://www.patreon.com/codeopinion ✔️ Join via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3RKA4vunFAfrfxiJhPEplw/join 📝 Blog: https://codeopinion.com/you-cant-future-proof-software-architecture/ 👋 Twitt
