@abdirahmancodes: Software Development Lifecycle: 3 stages that make or break every project Most people think software engineering is just writing code. But in Big Tech, we break the lifecycle into 3 critical stages: 1️⃣ Problem understanding & requirements — If you don't know what you're solving or who it's for, you're building in the dark. 2️⃣ System design — How you architect the solution determines whether it scales, stays reliable, or becomes technical debt. 3️⃣ Building & operating software — Code is just the start. Operating, monitoring, and iterating is where real software lives. Why this matters: Teams that skip or rush the first two stages end up with bloated codebases, missed deadlines, and systems that break under pressure. Getting the process right means shipping faster, with fewer firefights. Whether you're a dev, PM, or founder — understanding this lifecycle changes how you build. #Tech #softwareengineer #coding #london #somalitiktok
