I was looking at @oskardudycz.bsky.social post on ordering & consistency and saw this part: > Imagine a bank processes a withdrawal before a deposit. A user with a $0 balance may see a failed transaction, even though funds were deposited seconds earlier. www.architecture-weekly.com/i/151818131/...

Balanced Coupling returns to @infoq.com🎙️ Back in early 2020, I presented the first version of the Balanced Coupling model at DDD Europe. The late Jan Stenberg — who is dearly missed — saw its potential and wrote about the talk on InfoQ.

🚀 My interview for Dear Architects is live. Luca Mezzalira didn’t hold back — this one goes deep. The questions called for some serious introspection and took time to unpack.

🎙️ New podcast alert! I’ve been listening to Software Engineering Radio for nearly 20 years, so it was a real honor to be featured on this amazing show. Loved chatting with Jeff Doolittle about stuff we both care deeply about 🙂

What a great interview that was! I remember one of Sheen's questions totally derailed me—I couldn’t stop thinking, why on earth hadn’t I thought about that when writing the book???

Someone stole my new book. Might be good for her, I always thought her software design skills were a bit low.

Just finished @vladikk.bsky.social's "Balancing Coupling in Software Design". Great book. Describing "modules" as composable, hierarchical and fractal boundaries was the biggest insight for me, helped me build a better mental model of the design issues I'm trying to address.

Turns out it's more about WHERE to add functionality rather then HOW to add it.

Complexity rises, not from parts' number or size, It's interactions among them, where troubles can rise. While linear ones are simple and clear, With complex interactions, failures loom near. — Epigraph to Chapter 3: Complexity and Interactions of Balancing Coupling in Software Design

Are you avoiding conflict? Are you using techniques like “yes, and” that aims to create a sense of agreement, but you’re not really agreeing? Strategy is conflict. Therefore, you need to learn to be OK with it, I don’t ask you to be comfortable, but at least not avoid it. 1/4

Who's birthday is it? I can't believe that it has been a year since Communication Patterns was published. The main writing took me 9 months, so it really was a book-baby! Many people ask me what it is like to write a book. You can read more here: https://jacquiread.com/posts/first-birthday/

Publishing events from legacy is a common way to incrementally modernize. You can expose it's data & capabilities without rewriting it. But the events coming out of legacy represent your old model. And you will need to translate them into your new model. 1/4 #architectureModernization #ddDesign
