Stitcher.io  
A refactoring case study that simplified a content scheduling system by eliminating a state transition and cron job. The original design used three states (PENDING, SCHEDULED, PUBLISHED) with automated transitions, requiring cron jobs, console commands, and complex logic. The refactor removed the SCHEDULED state and added a future-dated publicationDate field to PUBLISHED posts, using a SQL query to find available time slots. This eliminated moving parts like cron jobs and automatic state transitions, trading one type of complexity for another. The key insight: modeling software directly from human processes doesn't always yield the simplest technical solution.
