Software is changing, teams are changing, the world is changing.

But the practice of architecture simply isn’t keeping up; and right at the time when we need more architecture not less.

The traditional approaches we keep trying to apply are in direct opposition to the new physics of constantly changing, sociotechnical systems. The old norms are being overturned in front of us. What used to be expensive is now cheap, what was slow is now fast, what used to be a sensible default is now a massive mistake.

This track will take the practice of architecture out of its echo chamber. The speakers will share their experiences, wisdom, and insights straight from this new world. There will be multiple perspectives and no guarantees. No-one will tell you to copy what they did, but you will learn about how they thought, what they did, how they thought about that thinking, and most importantly what they learned.

Join us to have your mind opened, and the joy returned to the practice of software architecture.
