Software design is the way code is organized so it can grow without becoming painful to change. Good design does not mean adding complex architecture everywhere. It means making choices that keep res

Choose maintainable module boundaries using cohesion, coupling, change scenarios, architecture decision records and a worked order-system boundary map.

Technical debt is the future cost created when software is built in a way that makes later changes harder. Sometimes it is an intentional trade-off. Sometimes it appears slowly through rushed fixes, 

Turn technical debt into prioritized work with an evidence-based debt register, impact scoring example, exit criteria and prevention practices.
