Excellent point! Language expresses our thoughts. Are our design thoughts about boxes and lines, or are they about servers and message queues?

How do you solve a hard problem? Find a good strategy. We built a platform that helps developers share how to solve everyday programming problems.

Being a pragmatic software engineer is good but pragmatism should not stand in the way of „seeking the invisible truth“ as George Fairbanks states in doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MS.202… Don‘t miss the chance to „Refactor Towards Deeper Insights“; see Part 3 of the blue DDD book by Eric Evans

ICSA 2025 Our team at ABB (Julius Rückert Marie Jens Heuschkel Andreas Burger Nafise Eskandani) has evaluated software architecture methods (see link.medium.com/lnEU4Uv0dob). We are open to trying new methods successfully validated on open source to aid technology transfer. #ICSA2022 #ICSAImpact
