Code Wars: Bringing Balance to the Design Force
How much design is enough design? How much is overdesign? When does — or should — design happen? How big is 'design'?
Anyone who has ever looked at the methodology landscape or has juggled different roles in software development — programmer, architect, coach, therapist, code paramedic, politician — knows that there are many answers to these questions, and they often contradict one another.
In this talk, we will consider different scales and time frames of design in software, bringing some balance to competing perspectives and recommendations
Target Audience: Developers, Architects, Tech Leads, Project Leads
Prerequisites: Interest in software architecture and design
Level: Advanced

He is co-author of two volumes in the ”Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture” series, and editor and contributor for multiple books in the ”97 Things” series. He lives in Bristol and online.
Frank Buschmann is a Senior Principal Engineer at Siemens Technology in Munich. His interests are in modern software architecture and development approaches for industrial digitization.
CANCELLED: A Commune in the Ivory Tower? – A New Approach to Architecture
Unfortunately, this presentation has to be cancelled at short notice for personal reasons.
Traditional (i.e. hands-off, blessed-few) approaches to architecture rarely (if ever) work. But in the world of microservices, autonomous teams, and continuous delivery, architecture is more important than ever. Is there an alternative?
Target Audience: Architecture Practitioners (Architects, Lead Developers, etc.)
Prerequisites: Experience delivering software architecture
Level: Advanced
Extended Abstract:
I’m an architect, and I think a lot about architecture. Mostly I think about how irrelevant architecture is if it doesn’t get shipped to production. I worry a lot too. I worry about how to help all the teams I’m supposed to be helping, without slowing them down, getting in their way, or making their lives harder rather than easier.
This paper introduces a mindset and an associated set of practices which do away with the traditional idea of “Architects” while bringing the practice of “Architecture” to the fore. I’ll explain how I and colleagues have used this approach at multiple clients to help everyone become an architect, without things reducing to chaos (though there is a healthy dose of anarchy).
A highly enthusiastic, self-starting and responsible Tech Principal; Andrew Harmel-Law specialises in Java / JVM technologies, agile delivery, build tools and automation, and domain-driven design.
Experienced across the software development lifecycle and in many sectors including government, banking, and eCommerce, what motivates him is the production of large-scale software solutions, fulfilling complex client requirements. He understands that people, tooling, architecture and process all have key roles to play in achieving this.
Andrew has a passion for open-source software and its communities. He has been interested in and involved with OSS to a greater or lesser extent since his career began, as a user, contributor, expert group member, or paid advocate.
Finally, Andrew enjoys sharing his experience as much as possible. This sharing is not only seen in his formal consulting engagements, but also informally through mentoring, blog posts, conferences (speaking and organising), and open sourcing his code.
