.... If you have a wound, you can only put plasters over it for so long... then you get long term damage (which takes longer to solve , if it's solvable)
Next Tuesday, we will have a new Story of Facilitating Software Architecture & Design. Until then, you can check out our latest story on Governance, where @roundcrisis.com shares her story. Find us on YouTube, every major podcast platform and our own website as a blog post: buff.ly/kixklbb

Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder.

Our 5th episode was @roundcrisis.com sharing a story on governance and decisions being reversed by management, which can lead to burnout and distrust....
An incident decision is reverted, causing team frustration. Our new story explores the socio-technical fallout of post-incident governance and how to build trust through clearer processes and supportive leadership.

You want teams to take architectural decisions by facilitating but you are struck with silence or indecision. That was the story @roundcrisis.com and @andrewhl.bsky.social talked about in our latest Story on Facilitating Software Architecture & Design.
