Cleared Cache is about re-examining the assumptions that shape how engineering teams build software and work together. Practices that once helped can become constraints as a team, its products, and its needs change.
Keep what works; question what doesn’t
Experience is useful, but “we’ve always done it this way” is not a reason to keep a process, tool, or habit. Look at what is helping now, what is getting in the way, and what evidence can guide a change.
Treat technology and teams as connected
Technical debt is not only a code problem. The way teams plan, make decisions, and share responsibility can either make it easier to address or cause it to accumulate. Sustainable improvements consider both the systems and the people working in them.
Make change practical
Good ideas matter when they lead to clearer decisions and better day-to-day work. Prefer focused experiments, honest feedback, and steady learning over sweeping change for its own sake.
These are starting points, not rules. The writing on Insights explores where these ideas hold up, where they need to change, and what engineering leaders can do next.
