I’ve just picked up this cool book: The Fundamentals of Software Architecture: An Engineering Approach by Mark Richards and Neal Ford.

I’m not an architect, but like any software engineer, I’ve touched on parts of architecture, and I’ve architected systems for myself and for my job.

I’ve done this without knowing the how, the why, and the path that architects have to walk, other than making decisions intuitively or through experience led by smells or successes.

Quite looking forward to this read, and seeing what it can reveal.

Hopefully I’ll post some continuing thoughts on it as I go through it.

I have to say, though, the images are quite the disappointment.

Ah well. The content is surely fantastic.

If I have to squint, I have to squint.
