You Don’t Need a CSS Framework
Developers use CSS frameworks to reduce boilerplate, increase quality, and drive consistency. However, these gains are hard to maintain as an application’s codebase matures. Developers must configure and override the framework to accommodate changes. Instead of using a CSS framework, developers should write their own custom CSS. CSS has evolved enough that this became the best option.

9 Steps towards an Agile Architecture
Just as a Minimum-Viable Architecture (MVA) approach does not create a system’s architecture in a single step, adopting an MVA approach takes a series of incremental steps as well. These organizational changes start with a single development team and use feedback to evolve the process as more teams are brought in.

Is Your Test Suite Brittle? Maybe It’s Too DRY
One important design principle in software development is DRY – Don’t Repeat Yourself. However, when DRY is applied to test code, it can cause the test suite to become brittle — difficult to understand, maintain, and change. In this article, I will present some indications that a test suite is brittle, guidelines to follow when reducing duplication in tests, and better ways to DRY up tests.
