I wrote this after noticing how much framework discussion focuses on greenfield work. In practice, most teams I see are inside 10 or 12 year old systems, evolving them under real constraints.

The piece is about that “second act” of software. After launch. After early growth. When reliability and discipline matter more than novelty.

Curious how others here think about this.
