The Imperfect Architect by Robin Custers dives into the tangled world of software architecture—from wrangling legacy systems and office politics to managing team dynamics and justifying technical choices to non-tech folks. You’ll learn why building trust and choosing the “last responsible moment” (yes, there’s a sinister twin called the “least responsible moment”) matter more than chasing perfection—and why AI agents aren’t the silver bullet they’re hyped up to be.
In this talk, you’ll pick up practical tips for thriving amidst chaos: spend political capital wisely, lead with a situational mindset, and get crystal-clear at communicating your decisions. Most importantly, you’ll discover how embracing “perfectly flawed” architectures through collective intelligence and continuous learning is the only way to stay resilient.
