   As a mostly self-taught dev, it's really helpful to read code reviews like this. I also enjoyed the author's code review reference[1]. That document cites Erick Breck's code review reference as inspiration. Is that publicly available? I couldn't find it on his website or via Google. Does anyone know where one can find high quality public code reviews? I imagine there must be open source projects on GitHub with good…

   Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I address it (briefly) in a follow-up: https://www.natemeyvis.com/on-studying-for-your-upcoming-job... . People might not know what the code base is actually like; they have incentives to overstate its quality; and, even if they can point you to a relevant, authoritative book, that doesn't entail that the hour spent with it is better than an hour spent learning a tool.

   I don't think LLMs push us to use microservices as much as Borgers says they do. They don't avoid the problems microservices have always faced, and encapsulation is mostly independent from whether a boundary is a service-to-service boundary: https://www.natemeyvis.com/agentic-coding-and-microservices/

    I'm grateful for all the notes here. I seem to have been insufficiently clear on the subject of boiling water, so I've written a follow-up post: https://www.natemeyvis.com/on-boiling-water/
