What Human Evolution Teaches About IT Architecture Trade‑offs (Ahead of the 2026 SACC)

The article draws a detailed analogy between millions of years of human evolution—standing up, shedding hair, expanding the brain, and recruiting ancient bacteria—and modern IT architecture, showing how each design choice brings hidden costs, why perfect systems are impossible, and how embracing trade‑offs, extensions, and continuous iteration can lead to resilient, self‑healing databases.
