Hosting-Aware Development
Most applications fail not because of bad code, but because they ignore the environment they run in. Hosting-aware development is about designing software that respects real-world constraints like shared hosting limits, file permissions, disk quotas, and server configurations.
After working extensively with shared and VPS environments, I design systems that degrade gracefully, avoid unnecessary dependencies, and prioritize reliability over theoretical perfection.
This mindset results in software that survives production, not just development.
