i kind of getting why you saying this, but i personally disagree. everything evolves. and evolution has neccesary branches which are destined to fail and go extinct. but every evolutionary step has the chance to grow into something bigger perhaps even a new standard. if everyone would agree that we should only use ready made industry standard tools, we would still live in caves. that was the industry standard for humans. or just hunting and gathering... that was also the standard. and even if it is certain that it is a dead end: coding it, designing it is an invaluable experience and knowledge to peek into how the others work on a fundamental level. which in turn will make you a better developer. if they are keep forcing it / using it after it turned out to be a dead end and / or limiting the system (or risking secuirty/stability /etc) then we can start doing facepalms on JLP levels ... but not until that :)

@@mityaboy4639 The reason why you shouldn't roll your own crypto was stated in this same presentation: their crypto had errors and in the end was not secure at all. So they ended maintaining legacy unworking crypto. Not very great situation. They didn't write their own algorithm but instead implemented a known algorithm. Doing that does not take humanity any steps further but can take a company to a risk.

In my last job they used an Excel sheet with vb macros for all the components they were producing in the factory part of the company. But if were not bad enough, this Excel sheet's macros were used to generate a database which was then used to generate another Excel sheet with macros which was then used to create the files used by our systems. Then there was another command line executable written in .NET CLI which was the most unclean copy pasted pile of code I've ever seen. Adding a functionality, or worse a new field, to this "DB manager" was seen as a punishment. They still have this technical debt monster running to this day, with various attempts to put all that crap into a nice DB shutdown by management because "we need to go fast no time for refactor that produces no client value" even if shit like these are the reasons we are going slower and slower. I'm glad I quit, my mental health was going downhill each day.

Great talk. The issue with "everyone does architecture" while true in a sense, devs should be able to decide when it comes to implementation details, but if there is no dev looking at the big picture this also means that there is no consistent architecture, and your product looks like a design by committee. Yeah, better do those choices consciously. So I guess the thing is big A Architecture looking at the big picture should be more about application/services integration that anything else, and not as focused with intra-application, except when we do have real application layers (like front-end, back-end, db) specially when managed by different people, not just virtual ones (model, domain, application, etc), the latter which should be up to the devs maintaining them and freely refactor internally as needed as long as they keep talking to other applications, services and physically separate layers of the same application, as they were before. And I fully agree you need to be a good dev to be an architect (even if it is someone that temporarily takes on that role) and that experience is what makes you able to not just apply something as cargo cult, and some times even overdoing it so wrong and misunderstanding Clean Code (or whatever you think you're applying) so deeply that there is no practical benefit from the way your software is laid out, it just looks enterprisey, costly to maintain, and everything is everywhere, but it has tons of interfaces and you see they used those standard magical names for their packages.

This talk would have been extremely beneficial for some managers at IBM I worked with about 3 or 4 years, where we had to turn a multi-million project's architecture around because ..... wait for ittt...... it was the WRONG THING. The cherry on top is that they tried to hide it from us and at the same time sugar coat their fuck-up to the client. I left that company not long after, too much toxicity and politics.

Sharing responsibility over a single server between multiple teams does in deed sound like it breaks the idea of teamwork in general. The idea of distributing a single task across team boundaries is one of the anti-patterns for organizational efficiency even in management literature. I'm thinking of Fredmund Malik's books specifically here.

I admit I fall into the same sort of anti-patterns that this discusses. But we do try to evolve to make sure that things will be able to adapt. The last two takeaways he discusses in 39:40 illustrate what I set up to do. The evolution is still pretty rapid. Hopefully as we scale in number of developers, a few of us can formalize the architecture, but for now it's pretty much quick discussions during the sprint and planning for it in next and future sprints. That being said having an end vision of what the architecture would sort of look like helps. I don't intend to copy Netflix, but having the idea of distributing the work/data into isolated instances for data capture and presentation but utilizing technologies such as Kafka to push into a federated store keeps back office analytics work separate from core applications.

The title is kind of sarcastic and indirect. The whole video points to the idea that an architecture is 'alive' and never finished, the stakeholders should decide when it's enough. As Stefan said, if the system just works, nobody is interested in the architecture. If the system does not work over and over, the architecture is over-engineered and over-emphasized.
