- #### Transforming Primary Care: A Case Study in Evolving From Start-Up To Scale-Up

Leander Vanderbijl explains how Kry navigated its scale-up phase to fix a complex, highly dependent "spiderweb" architecture. He shares the journey of applying Domain-Driven Design principles to group functionality and refactor existing services in situ, without stopping development. Key takeaways include moving from product-centric to functionality-centric design and using the FHIR model.

- #### A Plan-Do-Check-Act Framework for AI Code Generation

AI code generation tools promise faster development but often create quality issues, integration problems, and delivery delays. A structured Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle can maintain code quality while leveraging AI capabilities. Through working agreements, structured prompts, and continuous retrospection, it asserts accountability over code while guiding AI to produce tested, maintainable software.
