Podcast alert!!!! Together with Hanna Schraffenberger I am launching the Computer Science Off Course Podcast Today! Computer Science curricula are very very narrow in scope with a lot of math and algorithms, but very little meta science, philosophy or history.

In several of the stories people told @roundcrisis.com, @andrewhl.bsky.social and I on the @virtualddd.com Stories of Facilitating Software Architecture & Design, the thing that decided the outcome wasn't in the room. It sat upstream. >>>

Two days ago @chrissimon.au and myself gave a talk about Residuality at @dddeu.bsky.social We are working on a write up about the experience, which we hope to start publishing soon. Do you have questions or comments? For now a link to the slides www.roundcrisis.com/2026/05/22/r...

We’re excited to welcome @roundcrisis.com & @chrissimon.au to #YOW26. Together, they'll explore what happens when Residuality Theory meets the realities of software delivery, org decision-making & op trade-offs. 🎟 Limited earlybird tickets available until 30 Jun or sold out

Most teams have a gap that's easy to miss: everyone works on the same system, but nobody has quite the same picture of it. Diagrams go stale. Docs sit unread. And the same conversations keep happening in meetings.

From 🟧 domain events 🟧, to concrete technical choices. Much looking forward to @chrissimon.au 's talk next week 26th may at 6pm NZ time/8am CEST Join us online @virtualddd.com virtualddd.com/sessions/its...

Anyone else allegedly being a robot ? I've been asked again and again on a loop and not working Might be a vivaldi related bug, but this is such a poor experience

When I started working, I noticed that companies were not great at having meetings and making decisions. So I started digging into decision-making theory. In this episode, I sat down with @roundcrisis.com to unpack why decision-making processes often fail the people they are meant to help. [1/2]

recent episode of "Stories of Facilitating Software Architecture & Design" — a series I host with @roundcrisis.com and @andrewhl.bsky.social on Virtual DDD. Most architecture content gives you frameworks or opinions. >>>

Architecture in small bites? 🤏 Can architecture actually be done in "small doses"? @roundcrisis.com joins Avanscoperta as a trainer for her Collaborative Modelling with Bytesize Architecture Sessions and C4. Early Bird Tickets alert: www.avanscoperta.it/en/training/...

Drowning teams in system documentation rarely works. @roundcrisis.com talk explored using bytesize sessions to share architecture insights efficiently. Watch or listen:

The #DDD Starter Modelling Process has a section about Discovery. In this post I describe how I use time-boxed, iterative workshops, Bytesize Sessions, to Discover the structural side of the systems. Includes descriptions for smaller and bigger groups. www.roundcrisis.com/2026/03/03/b...

14 episodes into our Stories on Facilitating Software Architecture & Design series with @roundcrisis.com and @andrewhl.bsky.social, 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. ...

I've updated Bytesize Architecture Sessions to use "Convergence" instead of consensus. Convergence is really our aim here, it's all about integrating and co-creating. Thanks @indu-alagarsamy.bsky.social for the great discussion that enabled this new insight! 🌟 🌟 Thoughts?

Inspiring: Superb effort by Jono Ridler swimming to stop bottom trawling. So far 800+ km. He swam from the top of NZ North Island towards Wellington (Currently he's near Gisborne) More information about the swim progress as well as the impetus behind it in the website www.swim4ocean.com

@roundcrisis.com, @andrewhl.bsky.social and I collect real stories from practitioners about what it actually looks like to move from autocratic decision making toward something more decentralised and facilitative - and where that journey gets complicated. virtualddd.com/stories-on-f...

How do you change the way architecture and design are done in your organisation? End of last year, together with @roundcrisis.com and @andrewhl.bsky.social, we started a series called "Stories of Facilitating Software Architecture & Design." The idea is simple: let people share their stories. ...

I wonder... would there be any interest in some F# event / (un)conference in 2026? I always wanted to do something similar to F# Creators Workshop (which @dsyme.bsky.social organised years ago in Cambridge) or Elm Camp (which has been for last couple of years) #fsharp

Good example of "bad surprises"

📣 New Blog Post! Fellow OSS authors! Drowning in hopelessly outdated code snippets and misleading docs? I’ve been there. This post is about the idea that helped us recover — shared in case it's useful to someone else. 💜 purplekingdomgames.com/blog/2025/07... #Scala

Create a model of your system, as a practice! We are excited to announce the first edition of the Collaborative Modelling with Bytesize Architecture Sessions and C4, led by @roundcrisis.com, online on 22 - 24 and 26 June! www.avanscoperta.it/en/training/...

New blog post! Covering tools for groups like the Architecture Advice Process, Team Topologies and Event Storming. This is part 3 of a series on making architectural decisions Questions, feedback, etc most welcome www.roundcrisis.com/2026/01/15/m...

We added our Strategic DDD workshop for NZ/US timezones, with Andrea Magnorsky. 👉 Learn how to decompose large problem domains into cohesive, autonomous, domain-aligned bounded contexts and how to continue from there: buff.ly/wsWGc8P
