The Seven Righteous Fights
summary
Seven recurring engineering fights are named and justified with concrete takeaways: build localization up front—a Brasil demo costs five days vs two weeks depending on approach; treat authentication, authorization and encryption separately and use SSL internally; design APIs to be a LEGO stud so others can plug in; keep docs and onboarding so builds don’t stall; whitelist third‑party scripts and don’t reinvent AD/OpenID; run small user tests (five users) and add accessibility (Section 508) to reach gov and campus customers and delete users after seven years.
