I think the article is really on to something, but fails to make it clear. Her is my current belief system; A) Architecture is strategy. Ted Neward was my first inspiration for this. It makes sense particularly when considering systems with long live cycles. Less obvious for smaller designs that don’t se much change over time. B) Strategy is most clearly defined by Good Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters Book by Richard P. Rumelt Describes the kernel of strategy as 1) diagnose 2) guiding policy 3) coherent action C) diagnosing is difficult, but both wardley maps and cynefin can help direct us to methods of diagnosing. Unfortunately the immaturity of computer science puts a lot our subsystems in the complex adaptive domain. Partly because we haven’t discovered the best patterns and partly because our tools them selves are a mess of abstractions.
