DESCRIPTION
As software architecture continues to evolve rapidly, we are constantly confronted with new challenges. Simon Brown, Dave Farley and Hannes Lowette cover some of the recent trends in software architecture touching on terms such as DevOps and how to deal with complexity. They also reference concepts that have stirred debates forever and are still not done right, like bounded context and continuous delivery.

Wow. Great meeting. Simon, Dave, and Hannes are big names of Software Architecture! Thanks for sharing that!

[brnto]

Designing software isn’t at all like designing a building or a bridge. Software is about abstract business processes and cultural processes and the flow of data through those abstract processes. Software is fluid and changes over time whereas buildings and bridges require rigidity. For this reason, engineering and software engineering will always require very different processes and approaches.

What an awesome talk - thanks for sharing that!

The pain of discipline is always less than pain of regret.

[DevDungeon]

I listened to the whole thing. Very enjoyable.

[askingalexandriaaa]

who is GOTO conference's competitor?

[brnto]

I also don’t think “production is free” is quite correct either. Maybe it applies in the case that development actually succeeds. I know several multi-hundred million dollar software projects that failed and were abandoned.

Testing micro services independently is not really possible without well defined contracts. To say that micro services are independent is an exaggeration

[SaeedNeamati]

I do have diificulty in understanding them. What dialect of English are they speaking?

[HemalVarambhia]

I think Margaret Hamilton invented the term 'Software Engineering' - I would appreciate her thoughts on the idea today.

[rommellagera]

No agility in software development, it was and still is a long tedious process, and no viable shorcuts available. Yes process franework like scrum is important but does not automatically guarantee a good software. You still need to put in the work, hard work. When these people talk they surely inspire, until reality hits you.

It is still up to you and your team and your actions that determines what will be the outcome.

The moderator really wants to have separate repos haha.

Building better software faster is a very poor focus. Actually, it's not a focus at all.

Building bad software fast - is a good focus. If you can build 100 products instead of one, and every one is only 10 times worse than that theoretical one, you multiply your chances to success tenfold.

Building good software slow - is also a great focus. We definitely need mission critical software and we have time to build it. I used to work in NPP automation, we had 30-years long maintenance contracts there. If you're aiming for decades of maintenance, you can certainly afford years of development.

But targeting both quality and quantity at the same time is not a focus, it's a bad case of astigmatism.

[Urhsg]

The downside to this talk is that a lot of businesses right now want to hear about micro services, and trust me… the grass is not greener.

[logiciananimal]

On magpie development and shiny - I find it amusing and appalling that R has a web server etc. that is literally called that ...

[zakarasool]

Very interesting video good all the best nice 👍 great job

I think that design & architecture is very sexy 😊

Di terjemah kan bahasa Indonesia lebih bagus...👍👍👍👍
