The discipline is having a system that captures them before they fade.Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-21-git-submodules-inside-nx-monorepo/https://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-21-git-submodules-inside-nx-monorepo/The textbook answer is always a full monorepo merge. But in large codebases with independent release cadences, the right answer is often a stepping stone — and submodules can be that stepping stone.Thu, 12 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-24-building-the-integration-platform-before-you-need-it/https://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-24-building-the-integration-platform-before-you-need-it/How to recognize the moment when the next integration request should become a platform investment — and what that platform actually needs to include.Sun, 08 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-24-constraint-driven-architecture/https://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-24-constraint-driven-architecture/Architecture advice assumes you start fresh. You never do. Here are five principles for designing software when constraints are the starting point, not an afterthought.Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-24-giving-ai-context-in-a-166-project-codebase/https://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-24-giving-ai-context-in-a-166-project-codebase/AI generates plausible but wrong code in large legacy codebases — not randomly wrong, but wrong in ways that quietly erode conventions. Here's how to prevent it.Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-24-one-brain-three-interfaces/https://seevali.dev/blog/2026-03-24-one-brain-three-interfaces/NanoClaw, Kleos, and Nyx are three different ways to talk to the same AI.
