We live surrounded by illusions of control, of comfort, of freedom. But what happens when those illusions begin to crack?The Truth We Avoid Facing is a quiet confrontation with the lies we tell ourselves about who we are, the world we live in, and the systems that shape our choices. Across six deeply reflective chapters, Landoh Clansy guides the reader through the subtle ways denial becomes survival and how awareness, though painful, becomes liberation. From the illusion of control to the unseen chains of conformity, this book invites you to question the narratives that keep humanity asleep. It does not preach, nor promise easy answers only the courage to look honestly at what we’ve refused to see. If you’ve ever felt that something about the world or yourself isn’t as it seems, this book is your mirror. Not to judge, but to awaken.

For decades, the heroes of software were those who could write the fastest, cleanest code. They were the masters of syntax, the brilliant ten-percenters who could conjure complex logic out of thin air.But the world has changed. Our systems no longer run on single machines; they are vast, interconnected digital ecosystems that power payments, health care, and communication for billions. The best code snippet in the world is useless if the system that hosts it buckles under a traffic surge, leaks customer data, or costs five times more to run than it generates in revenue.This is a book about the product decisions that shape architecture. It’s about the trade-offs that keep a startup alive in an emerging market and what differentiates a global platform from a local application. It’s for the next generation of leaders who understand that in the modern digital economy, the system is the product. Read it, and start building systems that don’t just execute commands, but think.

In this book, you'll see that the book is designed with one main idea. It aims to give you the skills, confidence and understanding you need to build and deliver real Backend systems. Each chapter is designed to teach you everything you need to know to get hands-on with writing, configuring, deploying and troubleshooting your own projects. Right at the start, we got stuck into designing APIs and building backend systems. We didn't just stick to the basics, though. We went beyond that pretty quickly and started using modern protocols like gRPC and the key contract-first methods that are now the norm for scalable backend systems.
