🔥 That was the moment I stopped taking shortcuts with architecture. I'd been skipping layers for years. Letting the BLoC call the API directly meant fewer files to maintain and less code to write. Why add a repository in between if it's "just passing data through"? Then I tried to add caching to one feature. 😬 The API client was tangled into three BLoCs. Each BLoC had slightly different error handling. I couldn't add caching in one place because there wasn't one place. There were fifteen. I sat there staring at my screen thinking: I built this mess. Every shortcut I took is now a tax I'm paying. 💡 I call it DEPENDENCY DEBT. It's the hidden cost of letting layers talk to whatever's convenient instead of whatever's correct. 🛠️ The fix is almost annoyingly simple: Each layer only talks to the layer directly below it. View → BLoC → Repository → Client No exceptions. Not even once. ✨ Last month I needed to swap an API client. Changed one file. The BLoC didn't know. The view didn't care. The architecture I'd resented building was now protecting me from myself. The shortcut always feels faster. The structure always pays off longer. 💬 What's a shortcut you took that came back to collect?
