If you would like to learn or practice how to break up a large business into domains and use them as the foundation for your software architecture and team organization, I have created a strategic domain-driven design kata that you may find useful. I recommend organising attendees into groups of 4–5 people.

The ability to make good decisions might be the most important aspect of a software architecture practitioner’s job. Every day.every week.every month, you make critical architectural decisions.

Techniques like big picture event storming are great for mapping out the business and visualising problems and opportunities, but that’s where progress can easily get stuck. How do you go from event storm to product and organizational improvements? One of the challenges I see regularly is inertia following domain discovery workshops.

Source code is relatively less important compared to typical applications; the training data is what determines how the model behaves, and the training process is all about tweaking parameters in the application so that it delivers correct results most of the time. How do we test software whose behavior is fundamentally probabilistic?

One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it. I believe that self-documenting architecture would dramatically reduce one of the big costs in software development.

This is important. Neckbeards? Geeks and nerds?
