So how do we assess whether the code AI produces actually reflects the model we need? That is hard enough for people. How does an AI know when the model is shallow?

One worth trying: before committing to any design decision, ask "What would make this conversation a waste of time?" It forces the group to surface the assumptions underneath the debate before spending forty minutes on the wrong question.

Something a bit special is happening at FlowCon France in two weeks: I will be on stage at the same conference with my co-authors of Collaborative Software Design, just not at the same time.

Virtual Domain-Driven Design

Being aware of cognitive biases isn't enough.

Scrolling through this platform, I'm very aware of the bandwagon effect. But seeing all the AI posts out there every day still makes me question whether I'm falling behind, whether what I'm doing is still relevant.

Being aware of biases doesn't make the impact go away. And the same is true for our software architecture decisions.

Evelyn van Kelle and I are speaking at @ama_conf 2026, and we've been sitting with a question that keeps coming up in our consulting work: when a design choice just feels right, how do you know whether that's genuine insight or a cognitive bias in disguise?

This is where leadership and management must step in to manage and facilitate the underlying conflict, not the process itself.

The AAP is a structural mechanism, but its success relies entirely on the quality of our collaboration and mutual trust.

Keen to connect with people currently in New Zealand and Australia that are interested and/or want to learn about #systemsThinking #softwareArchitecture #collaborativeSoftwareDesign #DomainDrivenDesign.

Why? Like many of you, I love learning and I'm part of Virtual Domain-driven design. Since I moved here and started to feel more settled in Auckland it would be nice to meet more local folks and maybe do some events in person 😸

At the moment (Oct 2024), I'm hosting the VDDD book club which happens every other Tuesday see https://ti.to/book-club-virtual-domain-driven-design for more dets and sign up

If you are not in NZ, please boost this post (it seems everyone knows someone in here)

Events for Book Club - Virtual Domain Driven Design

"Pair or ensemble programming is not just about writing code together; it's about weaving multiple minds into a singular thread of creativity and problem-solving."
