What Makes Software Architecture So Intractable? By Neal Ford (

Why can't we make software architecture once and for all? Why do we keep having to make the seemingly same decisions over and over again? This keynote delves into the slippery nature of software architecture decisions and the modern way to do trade-off analysis. I show tips and techniques for assessing architecture trade-offs, as well as some easy-to-fall-into anti-patterns. I also discuss iterative architecture-the faster you can get feedback for your trade-off analysis, the easier you can make architecture decisions based on objective reality, not opinions.

The 8 fallacies were super important in the 80s. But you really need to update them for a modern world with ubiquitous HTTP and so many overlays that the networks are essentially homogenous from a developer perspective.
Also I kind of feel like I am getting sold books ...

If he needs to begin by explaining why software architecture is challenging, I can't listen to this.

But what if he's wearing big red shoes?
