Professor Quacks is back with five more principles for better engineering: build tools that help, move with healthy urgency, plan wisely, work well with others, and lead by example. These aren’t just coding tips, they’re culture-shaping lessons.
Stuck in Redux boilerplate for a simple React task? You're not alone. Learn how tools like Tanstack Query, nuqs, and react-hook-form help you replace Redux with simpler, more maintainable solutions—backed by madewithlove's engineering expertise.
When product teams obsess over perfect quality, they risk standing still, but by embracing a 'fit for purpose' mindset and planning for instability, they can move faster and smarter.
Investing without technical due diligence is like buying a used car without opening the bonnet. This article demystifies the audit process, shares what red flags we look for, and explains why investors should care deeply about code, processes and product.
Most technical due diligence audits focus on code quality and tooling, but the real risk lies in invisible processes, fragile teams, and product chaos, which is why madewithlove audits the full stack of your organisation, from code to culture.
Professor Quacks reminds us that curiosity, accountability, and good teamwork are the bedrock of great engineering.
Evaluating the cost of rebuilding software from scratch involves more than counting development hours; it requires recognising the invisible value of user feedback, lessons learned, and embedded experience.
Should engineers fear messy AI code or embrace it as a tool for fast product validation? This story reveals why your cleanest code might not be your most valuable contribution. Why founders will use AI generated code more and more for MVPs and prototyping and why engineers should embrace this.
Founders and investors due diligence: how to dig beneath the “AI-powered” facade and verify that their systems won’t break in secret.
