Sometimes people think I'm joking when I say I break software by using it.

Today my RSS reader says I have -1 items waiting. One interpretation is that I've read so much this morning that I looped back around into the negatives. Or maybe I tapped the "Mark as Read" with the wrong finger...

Slowly working on a new web architecture post (or maybe series, tbd). Diagram that started out being part of a discussion about how to thoughtfully design your architecture somehow ended up instead being a commentary about a few common architecture patterns.
A dense visualization that displays the list of responsibilities of a web service on the left as rows, from details about receiving the request through authentication, input parsing, performing application and business logic, and finally the stages of producing and sending the response. A second column reflects the same rows and whether these are typically framework responsibilities, configured by the developer, or code that developer writes. 5 more columns provide visualizations of the how the major components of a traditional 3 layer application, Onion Architecture, Clean Architecture, Clean Architecture misapplied with Mediatr, and Vertical Slices Architecture are each mapped to the responsibilities of the original rows on the left.
