Flying While Building is a publication dedicated to the realities of modern software development, where teams must deliver functional solutions while simultaneously designing, building, and refining their systems.
Our Mission
We provide battle-tested insights from the trenches of software development, emphasizing what actually works rather than theoretical ideals. This isn’t aspirational advice—it’s practical wisdom gained from real-world successes and failures.
