When we cannot reduce complexity, we try to hide or shift it. Software architects tend to manage that complexity with the time-honored strategies covered in this article.

Correctness vs Change: Which Matters More?
In ongoing software development, our core work is changing code. Jessica Kerr argues that by building changeable software on top of existing, well-understood components, and by improving delivery automations, teams will get better at their core work of delivering value and "changing reality".

How We Reduced Our React App’s Load Time by 60%
React handles UI updates efficiently but it does not magically make your web app faster. As our application grew in size, we started noticing some drawbacks of our setup. Although we knew how React worked and how Redux manages state, our application had bloated in size. We started seeing application crashes and jank. It was time to drive down the technical debt and make performance improvements!
