Modeling business requirements and policies is a tricky thing. In this video, @indualagarsamy discusses the saga message pattern to see how you can model complex business workflows, and model time as an immutable durable event

Another thing that’s sticking with me is the importance of social learning and peer support. I think I can credit a lot of my success, especially earlier in my career, to landing in an organization that values collaboration, information sharing, and mentorship.

Most engineers undervalue their time. You have more important work to do than re-inventing the wheel.

"That's quite expensive. We'll just build our own." "Your library doesn't do what we need. Fix it now. For free." "Why do you want budget to pay for free software?" "You said this was free! How dare you charge money for the latest version!" Sound familiar? Help us fix it: usewhatworks.org

I have to say, that's quite the wall of names for something that's been out less than a week. It's encouraging to see so many people showing their support for what we're trying to do here. Want to join us? Head over to usewhatworks.org and sign the manifesto.

There’s no single “best” way to version APIs. Each strategy exists because it solves a different problem. The key is matching the strategy to your context.

How do you design a UI when the back-end system consists of dozens (or more) of microservices? In this video, Mauro Servienti shows how to use the concept of UI Composition to build a page without losing autonomy between services

If implicit ranking can silence a room of senior engineers during a training simulation, imagine what it is doing to your actual architecture design sessions. If we don't actively facilitate group dynamics and level the playing field, we lose the vital perspectives required to solve complex problems

This thread demonstrates how people may *think* they are representing the "problem space" when they are still subconsciously stuck in the "solution space". My recommendation is to delay naming things, using placeholders like colors in the interim - uncomfortable at first, yes, but helpful. Try it.

Kenny (Baas) Schwegler@kenny.weave-it.org · 9mo ago

We stop designing for the feature and start designing for the business problem. Coming up with new ideas and models to solve the problem. The takeaway: Name your bounded context towards the problems in the problem space, not the solutions in the solution space.

Yup, many people underestimate the "gravity" of data when doing legacy modernization. That and data quality issues.

Nick Tune@nick-tune.me · 9mo ago

But the real challenge comes when tackling the core of the legacy, especially the data, that has many dependencies and is hard to untangle. And picking too many quick wins can increase overall complexity that makes untangling the core even harder. 2/4

With more and more open source projects switching to some sort of commercial licensing model with discounts for small business and community projects, the question keeps coming up: is a 100% discount the same as "free"? So I made a video about it. What do you think? www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpI8...

Companies don’t realize their developers often make decisions without leadership involved (to build their own infrastructure because it’s fun) that then burden the company with supporting such systems indefinitely. At the expense of a simpler more maintainable app.

"Rants and Raves" from @wildermuth.com > I think this is true whether it is an open source project, or a commercial product. It has felt like developers can get focused on “How hard could it be?”.

Particular Software@particular.net · 9mo ago

Every developer has faced the “buy vs. build” dilemma. Truth is, reinventing the wheel can cost way more than you think—both in dollars and lost focus. Adopt existing solutions where possible and spend your energy where it matters #UseWhatWorks
