I should start by saying this section does not offer a treatise on how to do architecture. By 2012, Harvard Business Review published an article by Thomas Davenport and D.J. Likewise, the term "architect" didn't enter popular usage to describe a role in the software field until the late 1990s. Solid doesn't mean inflexible.

Architecture Modernization is far more than just rebuilding the old system with new technologies and the latest architectural patterns. It’s an opportunity to completely rethink the UX, product functionality, business processes, and the domain model (and remove unneeded complexity). But a portfolio-based approach is crucial.

It’s easy to imagine a lot of software professionals saying, “Of course you’ll have to know C. Is the craft of software architecture different from the craft of programming? With DALL-E, that’s no longer true.

Is there any way it’s possible to predict the future so that our architecture can easily absorb the changes we need to make of it? One thing I want you to notice is that good architecture is about more than just defining good boundaries. In DDD a bounded context is an independent, loosely-coupled architectural component.
