The frontend–backend model has been a useful abstraction for decades, but it no longer re-flects how modern systems actually operate. Performance, security, and scalability now emerge from layered responsibility and early decision-making, not from a single backend core. This article explains why moving beyond the two-box model is not architectural fashion, but structural necessity.
Zero Trust is often described as a security model, but its real value appears only after something goes wrong. This article examines how systems behave once trust can no longer be assumed – and why limiting impact matters more than preventing every failure.
Most developers have encountered a situation where an application starts behaving strangely without an obvious cause. Memory usage grows gradually, response times deteriorate, and eventually someone suggests restarting the service. Often that helps, at least temporarily. The problem itself, however, is rarely resolved. It merely disappears from view, only to return later, perhaps in a…
At the beginning of this article series, I presented the claim that UX is broken. We examined how the linear model of the human being is a fiction and how artificial intelligence currently often only scales these errors. In the previous part, I introduced an alternative: a shift from lines to vectors and from narratives…
UX discourse is currently living through a paradox. At the same time that talk of better customer experience, AI-assisted design, and data-driven decision-making is accelerating, genuine understanding of the human being seems to be drifting ever further away. The problem is approached by adding tools, metrics, and intelligent systems, even though the foundation on which…
It is tempting to believe that the problems of customer experience can be solved with artificial intelligence. When language models are able to analyze vast volumes of feedback, produce fluent UX discourse, and simulate empathy, it creates the impression that understanding has finally been achieved. This impression, however, is misleading. The crisis of customer experience…
Customer experience measurement is often presented as a neutral activity. Metrics are assumed to describe reality as it is: customer satisfaction, service effectiveness, or the quality of interaction. This assumption, however, is misleading. Metrics do not merely describe reality; they actively shape what we come to recognize as experience in the first place. This is…
Customer experience has become one of the central discourses of contemporary organizations. It appears in strategies, roadmaps, metrics, and executive presentations. Yet rarely does anyone stop to ask what customer experience actually means today – or whether it still corresponds to the reality in which people live, act, and make decisions. I argue that the…
