“ADRs are short documents that capture a decision, structured into logs that reveal a history of architectural thinking for a product”
— Martin Fowler
“ADRs contain not just the decision, but also a brief rationale for the decision. This should summarize the problem that led to this decision being needed and the trade-offs that were taken into account. A good way to think of them follows the notion of “forces” when writing a pattern.”

“A general rule is to follow an “inverted pyramid” style of writing, commonly associated with news stories. The key is to put the most important material at the start, and push details to later in the record.”

Catching up on Tessa Violet's latest
AND Y"ALL
Tessa is wearing a Copeland James' Small Talk t-shirt at one point (~ minute 2:30) in the "I Love Being Wrong" music video!
(The video is a collection of informal clips, so it's just what she was wearing at some captured moment, and that's extra sweet and cool.)

The responsibility shed:
“We have basically given up all discipline and agency for a sort of addiction, where your highest goal is to produce the largest amount of code in the shortest amount of time. Consequences be damned.”
I used "different than" and then wondered what a pendant might say, so looked it up, and... that was more fun than I expected (haha):

But also… we might consider how we use “opinions”…
Like, I have insights, observations, experience, but you! You have opinions.
jk jk I have opinions. You have insights.
But seriously though. “Opinions” is loaded. And that’s ok, if I’m reminding myself to be humble, to seek to verify, to probe and test.

No Technical Leadership alum this time (but someone bringing lessons over from the last System Design cohort, so that's cool)...
Given everything, it's just amazing to have several lovely folk from here (waves at @joannalaine and others) and others from LI, joining us ... TOMORROW and next week :)
Still some space.
