Derek Comartin of CodeOpinion is one of my favorite YouTubers and content creators. Derek is able to talk through all sorts of software engineering tradeoffs and is one of the best at answering the "it depends" question.
That's because Derek knows that context is king. If we are making decisions in software engineering, it's all about the circumstances that we're operating in. Derek brings this front and center whenever he's talking about development choices.
Huge thanks to Derek for this awesome chat!
