In software development, the dreaded "big ball of mud" is all too familiar—a tangled, unmaintainable codebase that makes everything harder. Modularization? Impossible. Reuse? Too much coupling. Regression bugs? Endless. Simplifying or modernizing the code? Too risky.

In this video, we'll explore why so many projects end up as big balls of mud, why it's so hard to avoid, and how we can break this cycle. Also share practical strategies and proven techniques to ensure clean, well-architected software. We’ll also discuss whether microservices really are the solution to this pervasive problem.
