Should developers really care about software architecture? In their latest Modern Software Engineering episode, Dave Farley and Sam Newman make the case that architecture and design patterns aren’t optional extras—they’re the secret sauce behind scalable, reliable systems. From microservices to classic CS design patterns, they break down why understanding the “big picture” is just as important as writing clean code.
Whether you’re flying solo on a project or working in a giant dev team, this chat will convince you to ditch the “code now, think later” mindset. Dive into the why behind the how, level up your problem-solving skills, and start building products that last (and if you’re into further reading, they’ve got book recs too!).
