You probably already know the quote:
"Organizations which design systems (in the broad sense used here) are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations."
We’ve read the whole paper to check how up-to-date it is nowadays.
Did you feel that you need to debug your mind? Did your (or your colleague's) biases impact your decision-making? How to improve it? How do you reason about the reasoning?
@noctovis shared with us practical thoughts and the results of their research backed by the history of her projects. She gave us the talk she gave as the keynote at NDC London 2024 as our #ArchitectureWeekly webinar. You can watch the recording now 👇
@jeremydmiller was joking that I’m the Critter Stack #EventSourcing part Product Owner. It came from the fact that we were discussing a lot around design, but I haven’t got my hands dirty in #Wolverine. Time to change it!
Next Wednesday, 2nd of August, we’ll do a webinar for #ArchitectureWeekly paid subscribers taking my sample Helpdesk application and refactoring it live to fully benefit from #Wolverrine goodies.
