I ( @andrewhl.bsky.social ) will be speaking about one of the topics in the book at OOP Munich in February. Use my code to get a 15% discount you can get when you register for any ticket type at www.oop-konferenz.de/en/tickets/r...

Attempted to put my excitement at this “change moment” of a book, into “formal words”… But the idea here is that understanding and acting in systems design-evolution is distributed, and we need to share in “better ways” of doing that, and Andrew’s book argues for, and guides, that kind of shift.

"[Andrew's book] is a wonderful guide to the kind of decentralized and participative architecture decision making needed to steward the evolution of complex software-intensive systems." - Ruth Malan @ruthmalan.bsky.social Check out facilitatingsoftwarearchitecture.com to get a copy and much more.

Definitely! They are perfect companion pieces, right @kenny.weave-it.org ?

12 in-person conferences in the space of 8 months… wow! Sadly, I won't be speaking at as many conferences in 2025. If you want me to speak or run a workshop at your conference in 2025 please get in touch. Should this tour list be a t-shirt? 😂 Find out more: https://jacquiread.com/posts/tour-2024/

Open Spaces, especially those convened by @bruceeckel.bsky.social in Created Butte are the third inspiration for what eventually became my book. It turns out trust can get you a long way. If you let it.

Self-organization & the power of collectives are deeply misunderstood. First encountering them in open spaces curated by @bruceeckel.bsky.social, I was mesmerized. "Facilitating Software Architecture" from O'Reilly describes how to bring this to your software. facilitatingsoftwarearchitecture.com.

"[Software Architecture] is very much about ensuring that conversations that need to be happening are happening—not always initiating them, nor always helping to focus or navigate them, but ensuring they do happen and guiding when needed" @ruthmalan.bsky.social facilitatingsoftwarearchitecture.com

After nearly two years of work, Facilitating Software Architecture, my new book for @oreilly.bsky.social is off to print. I'm *really* excited about it. 💖 😊 🎉 Check out the site for *all* the ways to get a copy 📚 : facilitatingsoftwarearchitecture.com

These are essential skills, and when you learn from @tekiegirl.bsky.social you are *literally* learning from the person who wrote the ( @oreilly.bsky.social ) book. Treat yourself. (That training budget must get reset at the end of the year too...)
