Is this because what they've written truly works or is it because they've simply managed the same thing as the loudest engineer in the office, at larger scale?

- vikingcaffiene 7y agoWell HN knows a thing or two about the latter ;) It’s because I write better software in a team setting when I apply the techniques and philosophies of Fowler & Co. The biggest complexity in software is people. Coordinating them, navigating egos, and leveraging their experience levels. It’s a hard problem and the place where I see the most consistent system problems. IMO Fowler is just providing accessible common sense strategies for dealing with that complexity.
