Martin Fowler - Who need an Architect ?

The best part I liked about it was this statement:

Software is not limited by physics, like buildings are. It is limited by imagination, by design, by organization. In short, it is limited by properties of people, not by properties of the world. “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

This seems very true; I have heard many senior architects resembling software architecture with a Building Construction during their presentations, while I tend to agree on some of the aspects like creating a blue print before implementing the building but I do feel that building a software and constructing a building don’t make a fit analogy.

As martin mentions in his article, once you have designed a building it is very difficult to change the basement, on the other hand if you have layered your software well and applied the relevant design patterns you can still make shifts to your foundations without impacting the entire software stack!

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2447791/define-vs-const Oh const vs define, many time I got unexpected interview question. As this one, I do not know much or try to study this. My work flow, and I believe of many programmer is that search topic only when we have task or job to tackle. We ignore many 'basic', 'fundamental' documents, RTFM is boring. So I think it is a trade off between the two way of study language. And I think there are a bridge or balanced way to extract both advantage of two method. There are some huge issue with programmer like me that prevent we master some technique that take only little time if doing properly. For example, some Red Hat certificate program, lesson, course that I have learned during Collage gave our exceptional useful when it cover almost all topic while working with Linux. I remember it called something like RHEL (RedHat Enterprise Linux) Certificate... I think there are many tons of documents, guide n books about Linux bu

Martin Fowler - Software Architecture - Making Architecture matter

By
  https://martinfowler.com/architecture/ One can appreciate the point of this presentation when one's sense of code smell is trained, functional and utilized. Those controlling the budget as well as developer leads should understand the design stamina hypothesis, so that the appropriate focus and priority is given to internal quality - otherwise pay a high price soon. Andrew Farrell 8 months ago I love that he was able to give an important lesson on the “How?” of software architecture at the very end: delegate decisions to those with the time to focus on them. Very nice and straight-forward talk about the value of software architecture For me, architecture is the distribution of complexity in a system. And also, how subsystems communicate with each other. A battle between craftmanship and the economics and economics always win... https://hackernoon.com/applying-clean-architecture-on-web-application-with-modular-pattern-7b11f1b89011 1.
