I have a giant doc called rude-qa.md that has a bunch of questions an opinionated new hire (dev or manager) might ask about our architecture, followed by a brutally honest “here’s why we did it this way”. Often the answer is something along the lines of “I didn’t have enough experience designing systems back then. We could switch now but the cost is high and there’s not much benefit”. Humility is key. It really helps clarify my own thinking too.
