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.
Nice of Forbes to pitch Event-Driven Architecture to "business leaders". Welcome to the party!
"The shift [..] to event-driven execution is a leadership decision about how an organization operates under scale, complexity and regulatory pressure."
Hard to disagree with that. If you're a business leader pondering that decision, I'm happy to help.

Java Magazin 4.2026 is out with the first part of my four-part series on Event-Driven Architecture in Java. It's the written companion to my EDA workshop, which I'm delivering again in Munich next week.

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
The "old guard" of software engineering is worried that AI coding tools will prevent the next generation from learning architecture. I think we're wrong. Architecture isn't about syntax, it's about understanding how systems interface. Young devs exploring ten frameworks in a year are building intuition we never had the chance to develop at that pace. https://crunchtools.com/how-will-they-ever-learn/ #AI #SoftwareArchitecture #OpenSource #GenerativeAI #SoftwareDevelopment
#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.

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.

I’ve been speaking at conferences for ~12 years, and it still doesn’t feel routine. I rarely repeat talks, and sometimes something genuinely new comes along: a new conference, or a format that allows real depth.
Two of those are coming up.
It was a privilege to record the 1st episode of Luca Mezzalira's Dear Architects Podcast. Hear what Luca wished he'd heard earlier in his career:
YouTube: https://jcq.me/dapodyt
Spotify: https://jcq.me/dapodsp
Apple Podcasts: https://jcq.me/dapodap
Nobody puts "built a monolith that worked perfectly for three years" on their resume.
They put "distributed event-driven architecture with twelve microservices."
The career game rewards complexity. The project game punishes it.
New essay on why over-engineering is a game theory problem, not a discipline problem:
