“Anarchy doesn’t mean you can’t organise, but it should be done voluntary, functional, temporal and small”

At @newcrafts.bsky.social watching @andrewhl.bsky.social talk about anarchy and how we can organise ourselves differently in our company instead of the hierarchy we have gotten so used to.

Only 20 days left until @newcrafts.bsky.social. I will be talking about all things decision. :-D At the end of my talk you will understand a decision better, have some extra vocabulary to use and you know how I applied decision-making to software design. I hope to see you there! ncrafts.io

Me and @javujavichi.bsky.social “together” on stage. My favourite moment of #gsas25 captured here. First time I got quoted in a talk, achievement unlocked. ❤️

I am giving a talk and doing a workshop at #gsas25 (gsas.io) It is not too late to get your ticket! 13-15 October 2025 in Barcelona. Come find me :)

The way we think and the way we design our software systems isn't aligned. In order to make that alignment better, we need to understand our thinking, and the system we are in. In this episode, I spoke with @mentrix.bsky.social on decisions, belief systems versus truth, and non-linear thinking.

We often mock architects being in an ivory tower, making all the decisions, not listening to the developers, and not caring if they made the right architectural choices. What most of us failed to notice was that nobody was offering them a different process to make architectural decisions. [1/3]

Currently working on my new workshop called "Leadership in Software Design". The workshop is going to be great: we will talk about leadership and software design. Other topics we will touch are decisions, people and culture.

What does it mean to be good at communicating? I have tried (and failed) to improve my communication in general because being to communicate your solutions is as important as the solutions. In this episode of Satisfying Software, I spoke with @tekiegirl.bsky.social on the communicating architecture.

Event-Driven systems come with challenges: How do we version our events? Can we only publish events in an Event-Driven Architecture? How do we test all of this? These are a few of the questions I discussed with @noctovis.bsky.social in our latest episode of Satisfying Software!

Which programming language works really well with Tactical Patterns? When should be involve our software developers? How to deal with something that is over or under modeled? In our second episode of Satisfying Software, I spoke with @tcoopman.bsky.social on the Tactical Patterns of DDD.

Software design is a discipline of uncertainty. We took principles and tools from disciplines of certainty into a discipline of uncertainty and we are surprised when hell breaks lose. On our 1ep of Satisfying Software, I spoke to Barry O’Reilly on finding a better way to architect software system.

The fun thing about working for @aardlingeu.bsky.social is that I have the liberty to do things that help the community. I am very excited to share this new podcast I and my brilliant colleagues Theo and Hilde have been working on called Satisfying Software. First episode will be released soon!

Excellent point by @mentrix.bsky.social As a consultant, the first thing I often have to do is gently trying to convince people they are making me solve the wrong problem.

Really enjoyed @hillelwayne.com talk at #dddeu this year. Doing “good/correct” research is very hard and I think it’s important we start realising that.
