Iurii Uses: #Engineering Practice

How to estimate software projects honestly: why two weeks becomes six, the iceberg under the happy path, ranges over single numbers, and calibration.

Rewrite or stabilise a legacy codebase? A practical decision framework: when stabilisation wins, when rewrite is justified, and the Strangler Fig middle path.

Technical due diligence before a rewrite: a structured 2-hour audit method covering architecture, security, debt, and cost range. What to expect.

Keep an AI agent inside your codebase conventions: CLAUDE.md structure, system prompts, mid-session stop prompts, and where lint rules beat text instructions.

AI coding workflow for senior developers: what to delegate freely, what to scrutinize, what never to hand off, and the signals that mean stop immediately.

AI coding widens the gap between senior and junior developers — it amplifies existing skill.
