There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. Martin Fowler argues that internal quality of a software system enables new features and improvements to be delivered more sustainably.

Agile is not, and never was, about getting developers to write software faster.

It’s easy to imagine a lot of software professionals saying, “Of course you’ll have to know C.

The microservices era has been good for software architecture. A domain service builds on the basic definition of a microservice: it’s a loosely-coupled, independently deployable element of software architecture which is owned by a single team.
