Evelyn van Kelle and I are on the train back from @ama_conf, and we wanted to share something we promised during our talk.
Our session on debiasing software design decisions started from a frustration we both share: there's plenty of awareness in our industry about cognitive biases, but rarely anything beyond a nudge or two. The science is clear though, awareness alone isn't enough. You need a strategy.

You know naming things is hard, but names aren't the only words that cause problems in software development. On Wed 18th Mar, join us for the first in-person Domain-Driven Design London event of the year: a free workshop with Tobias Brennecke, to help you solve these project-wrecking communication problems.

In our #SAG2025 expert interview, @claresudbery explains how neurodivergent traits such as pattern recognition, creativity, and hyper-focus can strengthen software teams. Drawing on 25+ years in software engineering and her own experience with #autism & #ADHD, she shares how inclusive environments help teams collaborate, innovate, and thrive.
Think about the last architectural decision your team made.
Was it actually decided through careful analysis? Or did the person who cared the most and spoke the loudest end up steering the outcome?
14 episodes into our Stories on Facilitating Software Architecture & Design series with @roundcrisis and @ahl, and one pattern keeps surfacing: the biggest threat to good architecture isn't a lack of technical knowledge. It's the human dynamics we don't address.

#SoftwareArchitecture
#Pinterest launched a next-gen CDC-based ingestion framework.
Using #ApacheKafka, #ApacheFlink, #ApacheSpark & #ApacheIceberg, they achieved:
• Latency cut from 24+ hours to 15 minutes
• Processing of only changed records
• Support for incremental updates & deletions
• Petabyte-scale data across 1,000+ pipelines
Win: optimized cost & efficiency!

Came across this take recently: "How long until the DDD community realises AI/LLM assisted programming is still DDD, but you no longer need to do the actual implementation, just document & validate it?"
We already do. The bounded context pattern is still very much valid.

It's hard to facilitate architectural decisions when the loudest voice dictates the path, ignoring real consequences. @selketjah shares her story of a toxic environment where technical choices masked deeper dysfunction. She reflects on how to uncover fears/values to make better, collaborative decisions.

🧱 Was bedeutet es, Software-Architekt:in zu sein?
Holger Kraus beschreibt in seinem neuen Artikel seine persönliche Lernreise in eine Rolle, die häufig mit Hierarchie und alleiniger Entscheidungshoheit verbunden wird. Er hinterfragt dieses Verständnis und richtet den Blick auf die Frage, wie Architekturverantwortung im Team wirksam gestaltet werden kann.

I'm searching for a remote job or project in the #software world, CET, Europe.
I offer #agile #team #coaching, #projectManagement or #productownership. Additionally #mobile and #backend #softwareArchitecture #Java, #Kotlin, +++
For the best sth. which requires a mix of my skills where I can apply e.g. #liberatingStructures, facilitate workhops, start or rescue iniatives or org changes.

boosts welcome!
The biggest risk in #AI integration isn’t the model. It’s architectural discipline.
A demo is easy. Integrating AI reliably into existing systems without rebuilding core systems is where it gets complex.
In our new #DeveloperHub article, we show how to introduce a controlled AI layer in front of existing applications with structured outputs, validation, and testability built in.
No black-box integration.
No forced modernization.

Hello #Fediverse
I'm building pokedev.ch, a tool designed to help developers and architects navigate tech stacks and analyze tool characteristics.
The project is in its structural consolidation phase, and I’ve reached the limits of my current expertise in ontology and data schemas. I need your help to make it a professional-grade tool.
The Current State:
Cards & Raw Data: The foundation of the project. I'm still refining the ontology to ensure data consistency.
The Builder: A UI to compose stacks, currently under heavy development.
The Oracle: A logic engine (using miniKanren) to analyze relationships between cards and provide insights.
I'm looking for advice from:
- Software Architects: To review my schemas and recommendation logic.
- Data Engineers: To help refine the technology ontology.
- Specialists in languages like #Ada, #Rust, #C, or #Python to validate our tech cards.
If you have a few minutes to check https://www.pokedev.ch and give me some feedback on the structure, it would be invaluable!

🌍 Global research infrastructure doesn’t have to mean complex IT operations.
LIGHTS (www.lights.science) is a real-world example of how #ResearchInfrastructure can be built using automated #CICD pipelines, versioned data artifacts and familiar cloud tools.
The result: a lean, low-maintenance setup that supports globally distributed health researchers without dedicated IT operations.

It's frustrating when workshop agreements look solid but lead to no action or real commitment. @xinyao shares how the facilitator's role and unspoken group dynamics can create "success theatre" and how she learned to invite dissent, fostering true engagement through Connection, Contribution, and Conversation.

The first #SAGconf #keynote recording is live! 🥳
We’re kicking off the release of the #SAG2025 keynotes with a true classic: Alistair Cockburn’s keynote on Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters) Architecture 🎥
In 45 minutes, Alistair explains how this architectural style emerged – based on real projects, real failures, and real code – and why clear boundaries, interfaces, and tests matter for long-living systems. 🧩

The audio version of my podcast with Michael Nygard for GOTO Conferences Unscripted is out now.
We talked about building resilient systems, the real meaning of Conway's Law (everyone forgets the word "communication"), modernising 50 years of tech debt at Sabre, and why we celebrate firefighters over fire preventers.
Michael's insights on technical leadership and organizational design are invaluable.

🔐 Security ist kein Last-Minute-Feature.
Wer #SecurityByDesign früh umsetzt, verhindert teure Fixes und Risiken wie im Fall von Subaru – verursacht durch eine Webapplikation mit schwacher Sicherheitsarchitektur.
In seiner aktuellen Kolumne «Schlicht und einfach» zeigt @madmas, wie Shift Left und #DevSecOps helfen, #Security als durchgehende Verantwortung früh im Entwicklungsprozess zu verankern:
