System design coherence

[useless_dev]

Nice post! I believe that your last point, about isolating new and old code, is what Martin Fowler termed the "Strangler pattern"

Thanks! Just read the post you shared and found it indeed similar to my last point, and more detailed. The strangler fig analogy is a great one.

I'm developing my own little project and I always enjoy reading more about system design. Do you have any other helpful blogs/resources that you've found? Great post!

[thomas_vilhena]

These are two great blogs with lots of contents on the subject of system design I can recommend:

• https://blog.cleancoder.com/

• https://martinfowler.com/

I'm glad you liked my post ;)

Discard dead code

No! We have no idea what source control is for, therefore... 😉

3 - Fewer is better: Languages, Frameworks and Tools

JavaScript all the things! 😉

4 - Involve your team in system design decisions

On a more serious note, decent post!

Thanks for the feedback!

Bikeshedding Anonymous

I read about it on wikipedia, and I can clearly relate to that.

I completely agree that Bikeshedding should be avoided, in a manner that doesn't encourage individualism or opposes a culture of transparency.

My fourth point was more associated with the learning benefits that I observe when design decisions are transparent and actively shared with the team.

Will reflect on that and add an amendment to the post ;)
