Code generators are good at screens and bad at schemas. The failures show up months later, in the one part of the system that is hardest to change. Here is what breaks, why, and what to design first.
Most engineering engagements go wrong before the first line of code, in a scope that was a list of features instead of a description of a system. Here is what we put in ours, why each section is there, and what happens when one is missing.
Most companies do not have a data problem. They have a findability problem. Before an agent, a search box or an analyst can use what you already have, something has to sit between raw storage and the question. That something is an indexing layer, and it is an architecture decision, not a plugin.
A first-hand account of a supply-chain compromise inside a client platform we engineer: a remote-code loader in a build config, a 34KB command-and-control payload appended to a lint file, and a commit-forgery tool. How it got past code review, GitHub search and our own scanner, what we found when we finally looked properly, and what we changed for good.
