Building Castles, Not Sandcastles: Strategies for Software Architecture Success
summary
20-minute lightning checklist of concrete practices: prioritize uncover the core challenge using big‑picture thinking, premortem, Five Whys and explicit success criteria; make decisions traceable with ADRs, centralized docs and goal‑traceability metrics; choose tech by purpose using decision matrices and regular alignment checks (avoids “shiny object” microservices mistakes); and enforce continuous evaluation via iterative delivery, feedback loops, code reviews and static analysis plus ongoing learning. Anecdote: cheap mirror fix (not expensive elevator overhaul) illustrates solving the real problem.
