Anyone else allegedly being a robot ? I've been asked again and again on a loop and not working Might be a vivaldi related bug, but this is such a poor experience

When I started working, I noticed that companies were not great at having meetings and making decisions. So I started digging into decision-making theory. In this episode, I sat down with @roundcrisis.com to unpack why decision-making processes often fail the people they are meant to help. [1/2]

recent episode of "Stories of Facilitating Software Architecture & Design" — a series I host with @roundcrisis.com and @andrewhl.bsky.social on Virtual DDD. Most architecture content gives you frameworks or opinions. >>>

Architecture in small bites? 🤏 Can architecture actually be done in "small doses"? @roundcrisis.com joins Avanscoperta as a trainer for her Collaborative Modelling with Bytesize Architecture Sessions and C4. Early Bird Tickets alert: www.avanscoperta.it/en/training/...

Drowning teams in system documentation rarely works. @roundcrisis.com talk explored using bytesize sessions to share architecture insights efficiently. Watch or listen:

The #DDD Starter Modelling Process has a section about Discovery. In this post I describe how I use time-boxed, iterative workshops, Bytesize Sessions, to Discover the structural side of the systems. Includes descriptions for smaller and bigger groups. www.roundcrisis.com/2026/03/03/b...

14 episodes into our Stories on Facilitating Software Architecture & Design series with @roundcrisis.com and @andrewhl.bsky.social, and one pattern keeps surfacing: the biggest threat to good architecture isn't a lack of technical knowledge. It's the human dynamics we don't address. ...

I've updated Bytesize Architecture Sessions to use "Convergence" instead of consensus. Convergence is really our aim here, it's all about integrating and co-creating. Thanks @indu-alagarsamy.bsky.social for the great discussion that enabled this new insight! 🌟 🌟 Thoughts?

Inspiring: Superb effort by Jono Ridler swimming to stop bottom trawling. So far 800+ km. He swam from the top of NZ North Island towards Wellington (Currently he's near Gisborne) More information about the swim progress as well as the impetus behind it in the website www.swim4ocean.com

@roundcrisis.com, @andrewhl.bsky.social and I collect real stories from practitioners about what it actually looks like to move from autocratic decision making toward something more decentralised and facilitative - and where that journey gets complicated. virtualddd.com/stories-on-f...

How do you change the way architecture and design are done in your organisation? End of last year, together with @roundcrisis.com and @andrewhl.bsky.social, we started a series called "Stories of Facilitating Software Architecture & Design." The idea is simple: let people share their stories. ...

I wonder... would there be any interest in some F# event / (un)conference in 2026? I always wanted to do something similar to F# Creators Workshop (which @dsyme.bsky.social organised years ago in Cambridge) or Elm Camp (which has been for last couple of years) #fsharp

Good example of "bad surprises"

📣 New Blog Post! Fellow OSS authors! Drowning in hopelessly outdated code snippets and misleading docs? I’ve been there. This post is about the idea that helped us recover — shared in case it's useful to someone else. 💜 purplekingdomgames.com/blog/2025/07... #Scala

Create a model of your system, as a practice! We are excited to announce the first edition of the Collaborative Modelling with Bytesize Architecture Sessions and C4, led by @roundcrisis.com, online on 22 - 24 and 26 June! www.avanscoperta.it/en/training/...

New blog post! Covering tools for groups like the Architecture Advice Process, Team Topologies and Event Storming. This is part 3 of a series on making architectural decisions Questions, feedback, etc most welcome www.roundcrisis.com/2026/01/15/m...

We added our Strategic DDD workshop for NZ/US timezones, with Andrea Magnorsky. 👉 Learn how to decompose large problem domains into cohesive, autonomous, domain-aligned bounded contexts and how to continue from there: buff.ly/wsWGc8P

Anna Shipman wrote a very useful summary and review of Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss www.annashipman.co.uk/jfdi/never-s... Two spotlights:

Writing about tools for architecture decision making, to describe a tool in a paragraph or so it very hard. How to make justice to what comes to hundreds if not thousands of hours of work that went into creating these facilitation tools

more infrared experimentation, near Briones Reservoir

Nice write up on service blueprints microservices.io/post/archite... write up by @crichardson.bsky.social the blueprints are from @indu-alagarsamy.bsky.social

Today during DDD training I was asked which companies use Domain Driven Design today I know there are a few companies I'm helping, Do you know some list or some companies that are good current use cases?

This Thursday: On the same page: EventStorming for understanding processes and systems together hosted [email protected] and myself At @adaconf.org Be prepared for chaos, timelines, emergence a lot more (++ a lot of sticky notes 🟧) more info www.trybooking.com/events/14391...

.... If you have a wound, you can only put plasters over it for so long... then you get long term damage (which takes longer to solve , if it's solvable)

I missed this when you first posted it but this is the kind of development I feel motivated to fight for 😭

The talk by @trond.hjorteland.com just finished and it left me feeling full of curiosity and things I want to learn more about. I really enjoyed that he talked about systems in terms of teams, forests, open and closed, philosophy , Ackhoff, Meadows and so much more virtualddd.com/sessions/see...

"Everyone wants to be on the top right corner" @trond.hjorteland.com doing an amazing talk at @virtualddd.com Live now www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B7A...

Our 5th episode was @roundcrisis.com sharing a story on governance and decisions being reversed by management, which can lead to burnout and distrust....

Very much looking forward to @trond.hjorteland.com joining us at @virtualddd.com

When a team is silent on a key architectural choice, don't force it. A powerful alternative is asking for their consent to decide for them. Our new story explores this technique for navigating indecision and unblocking your team. Read more: buff.ly/N5wWqny

Almost 1500 people have purchased copies of *Logic for Programmers*! Has anybody had any experiences trying to apply the ideas in practice? Want to know if the book is doing its job!

You want teams to take architectural decisions by facilitating but you are struck with silence or indecision. That was the story @roundcrisis.com and @andrewhl.bsky.social talked about in our latest Story on Facilitating Software Architecture & Design.

Bytesize Architecture Sessions mentioned in @infoq.com I like how at towards the end of the article I'm quoted quoting @dianamontalion.com on her definition of knowledge Thanks Daniel Bryant and Rafiq Gemmail www.infoq.com/news/2025/09... Video referenced: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJd...

They conduct vital search & rescue operations in the Mediterranean, saving lives when others turn away. 21.1km for me = solidarity with their life-saving mission.

Dear people designing online collaboration boards: people that use collaboration boards also (quite generally) work across multiple organisations, why do you make it so hard to switch? also for some: Why are board hard to find? I should find it in my browser's history??? (I'm looking at you Miro)

Great writeup on "The Three Kinds of Organizational Power" shared by Anja Kunkel (thanks) as we discussed Decision KP Maps. jacobian.org/2021/mar/15/... Reminded me of Anthony Marter's ProductTank Auckland panel. We share so much across roles - wonder if we collaborate efficiently enough?

How can architects move from bottleneck to facilitator? Our new story explores using transparency and Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) as a collaborative tool *during* the decision process, not just after. A small change with a big impact. Read more at the URL. buff.ly/FiUUrQg

Super sad that @andrewhl.bsky.social can't join us and also happy we get to collaborate with @kenny.weave-it.org talking about "The paradox or polarity between decentralised and centralised decision-making" See you there

Very much looking forward to this ti.to/bredemeyer/p... When: Monday, October 6th, 2025, 1 PM - 2 PM Eastern Time (US/Canada).
