TL;DR

Dave Farley and Sam Newman argue that software architecture isn’t just a fancy buzzword—it’s the glue that holds your code together. In their Modern Software Engineering chat, they break down how thinking about design patterns, microservices, and system structure helps you build apps that actually scale and don’t fall apart at the first sign of trouble.

Whether you’re deep in the weeds of writing functions or just starting out, getting a grip on architecture means fewer late-night firefights, cleaner code, and products that delight users instead of frustrating them. Seriously, it’s not optional—it’s how you level up from “it works today” to “it works forever.”
