System Suddhi: The Art of Structural Purification
2026-01-02•Yash Rawat
"Suddhi" means purification in Sanskrit. In the context of software architecture, it means removing the entropy that accumulates over time.
The Hidden Tax of Entropy
Most companies add features without subtracting complexity. This leads to a state where 80% of engineering time is spent on maintenance ("keeping the lights on").
My System Suddhi audit identifies:
- Zombie Code: Features that run but provide zero value.
- Data Leaks: Manual data entry points that introduce errors.
- Cognitive Debt: Systems so complex they require a "hero" to operate.
