Everyone Agreed on the Standard and Nobody Used It
September 29, 2026 · 26 minWe tend to assume that if the people who will live with an architecture standard help create it, adoption takes care of itself. Invite the teams, let them design the process, give everyone a voice, and the standards will be theirs. Wouter…

Nobody Asked Her to Organise a Community of Practice, So She Did It Anyway
September 15, 2026 · 24 minMost organisations have a community of practice that nobody actually wants to attend. It sits in the calendar every two weeks, a handful of people talk, and the rest stay silent. Suzanne Lagerweij has a simple explanation for why: people…

Someone Went on Holiday and Handed Over a Laptop Full of Scripts
September 1, 2026 · 44 minWe spend a lot of design effort on how data gets into a system — the forms, the validation, the transactional database quietly recording everything in neat rows. We spend far less on how it comes back out. And when the person who needs a…

They Told Her She Needed Grey Hair to Run the Workshop
August 18, 2026 · 36 minMost facilitation advice starts the moment people walk into the room. Prepare your flip charts. Sort the chairs into some reasonable configuration. But Katie Clark brought two stories that are deliberately not about what happens during a…

The Team Had Four Services. They Were Actually One
August 4, 2026 · 27 minWe tend to trust diagrams. Four boxes, four arrows, four services — that feels like shared understanding. But when Vanessa Formicola started asking basic questions about a team's architecture, the boxes came apart in her hands. What the…

We Spent Three Months Talking and Got Nowhere Until Someone Picked Up a Marker
July 21, 2026 · 27 minMost decisions in software teams don't fail because people disagreed. They fail because people thought they agreed — and nobody found out for weeks. You leave the meeting feeling good about where things landed, and three weeks later you're…

She Spent Years Watching Architects Lose Their Spark
July 7, 2026 · 25 minThere is a version of career progression that looks like success from the outside and feels like erosion from the inside: you get more senior, you sit in more meetings, you write less software, and eventually someone asks whether you'd…

Nobody Could Agree on Whether the Problem Was Technical a DDD Europe Special
June 23, 2026 · 27 minThere's a pattern that turns up in almost every struggling team: the problem gets named as technical, the technical fix gets applied, and nothing improves. The complaints come back louder, and the only thing that really changes is who gets…

They Knew the Answer Before They Understood the Problem
June 9, 2026 · 24 minWe like to think architecture starts with a problem. But often, by the time we're brought in, someone has already chosen the answer — and the real work becomes figuring out how to slow things down without making anyone feel foolish. That's…

We Spent Years Improving the Wrong Thing
May 26, 2026 · 31 minWe like to believe that if we do everything right — bring in proven methods, hire experienced people, build the feedback loops — then the system will eventually bend toward better. Marco Heimeshoff spent years inside a company doing…

Everyone Had an Opinion But Nobody Changed Their Mind
May 12, 2026 · 29 minWe've all been in that meeting. Someone proposes a solution, someone else proposes a different one, and within minutes the room has split into camps. People stop listening and start waiting for their turn to argue. Whatever decision comes…

Why Drawing the Same System Reveals Different Architectures
April 28, 2026 · 23 minWe often assume that architects working on the same system share the same understanding of its structure. They're looking at the same code, attending the same meetings — surely they see the same thing. But what happens when you actually…
