I thought quite a bit about this extension of Conway's Law, which is taking the flexibility of the system under change into account. Here are some unsorted and maybe random thoughts from my experience of doing an inverse Conway maneuver on a larger scale at Flix. #SoftwareDesign
New blog: "Conway’s Law Doesn’t Apply to Rigid Designs".
tl;dr A reorganisation will help you get the system design you want, assuming the system is new or at least very flexible in adapting to the organisation. Not if the design is already ossified.

Aha! Check out this talk by @andyburgin at @devopsmanc : "Curating a Platform Experience"

OH: we had a nice fast monolith on tomcat and now we have 40 ‘cloud native’ things that are even more siloed, are using more memory, more storage, and are less efective...
Well at least you get to speak at conferences.
A few days in the capital does wonders for your step count.
Unfortunately the increase in your calorie intake is proportional 🍕🍖🍰
Not just leadership either, there are so many opportunities made available through online gaming.
