Most organisations go through an architecture modernisation effort at some point as their systems drift into a state of intolerable maintenance costs and they diverge too far from modern technological advances. This means a software architecture should be purposely designed for the most favourable business consequences.

They’re fun, but I don’t find them a good source of insight into what’s happening in technology. However, discussion of regulation will be a major pastime of the chattering classes, and major technology companies (and venture capital firms) will be maneuvering to ensure that regulation benefits them. How will this affect technology?

First, the behavior of an AI application depends on a model , which is built from source code and training data. A model isn’t source code, and it isn’t data; it’s an artifact built from the two. This means that, to have a history of how an application was developed, you have to look at more than the source code.

I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. In my experience, the culture is better and the results are better in orgs where engineers and architects obsess over the design of code and architecture. Visualisation techniques like EventStorming can also be used to design code.
