Software architecture IS Conway's Law

Read Original

This article discusses the relationship between team structure and software architecture, referencing Conway's Law. It contrasts the messy code often produced by solo developers with the cleaner, more maintainable architecture that emerges from collaborative teamwork, where defining clear interfaces and components is necessary. The author argues that breaking work into small, well-defined steps can improve architecture even for individuals.
