Here are some key tips to consider when crafting your Call for Papers (CFP) for DDD Europe: https://buff.ly/4gQjqmy
Only 20 days left until @newcrafts. I will be talking about all things decision during the conference. I am very excited about this, a full 45min on decisions :-D At the end of my talk you will understand a decision a bit better, have some extra vocabulary to have discussions on how to make decisions in your company and you know how I applied decision-making theory to software design. I hope to see you there! https://ncrafts.io/

The way we think and the way we design our software systems is not aligned. In order to make that alignment better, we need to understand ourselves, our thinking, and the system we are currently in.
In this episode of Satisfying Software, I spoke with @diana on decisions, belief systems versus truth, and non-linear thinking.

In this episode of Satisfying Software, I spoke with @ahl on The Architecture Advice Process, a way to make architectural decisions that works inside an agile environment.

We often mock architects being in an ivory tower, making all the decisions, not listening to the software developers, and not caring if they made the right architectural choices. What most of us failed to notice was that nobody was offering them a different process to make architectural decisions, one that fit the agile mindset software teams adapted to a long time ago.

What does it mean to be good at communicating? Over the years I have tried (and failed) to improve my communication in general because being to communicate your solutions is as important as the solutions themselves. In this episode of Satisfying Software, I spoke with @tekiegirl on the communicating design and architecture.

Event-Driven systems come with challenges: How do we version our events? Can we only publish events in an Event-Driven Architecture? How do we test all of this? Why is it worth designing an Event-Driven system? These are a few of the questions I discussed with @noctovis in our latest episode of Satisfying Software!
