Every definition of architecture I have ever heard has never really helped me in any way after hearing it except one:
"Architecture is that which contains entropy."
- omeid2 7y agoLove the fact that it is a nice double entendre! Contains: (verb*) 1. have or hold (someone or something) within. 2. control or restrain (oneself or a feeling).
- westoncb 7y agoSomething like that is basically my guiding principle when evolving architectures. I generally start with minimal grouping/barriers, but eventually areas start appearing as likely candidates as things that could end up developing complexly. When those surface, I see my job as something like setting up bulkheads to constrain the flow and development of complex regions.
