Secure Boot was designed to solve one of the most fundamental security problems in computing: how to ensure that only trusted software starts your machine. But like any architectural decision, it came with its own trade-offs, and its own technical debt. In this episode of Technical Debt: Design, Risk and Beyond, Maxim Silaev and Nikita Golovko explore Secure Boot as a case study in how solving one kind of debt often creates another. Maxim explains how the pre-Secure Boot world fragmented BIOS...

The hidden cost of scaling teams and how architecture can help
As engineering teams grow, many organizations expect velocity to increase, but often the opposite happens. In this episode, we will explore the invisible costs of scaling headcount without evolving your system architecture. From onboarding delays to tangled communication paths and team overlap, we break down why more people often leads to less effective delivery. We dive into the architectural principles that help teams scale safely: service boundaries, team ownership models, platform thinkin...
