Conway's Law

Re: Conway's Law
#12For a simple example with services, I manage six services that are all interconnected, but serve different groups and use cases for the company. And each time i switch the service i'm working on, it's almost like i'm putting on a different mental hat. Sure, we technically can have them in one single monolith, but i find that short mental barrier between services, even without lots of teams and developers, to be helpful.

#13Probably the clearest example of Conway's Law I ever saw was when I was consulting for a dev team whose product used a complex database. They were facing a very stiff deadline, which I was there to help them achieve. Suddenly, one of the server processes started to fail, though it had been working fine up to then. After a fair amount of panic (at this point in the dev cycle pretty much anything unexpected triggered panic), the cause was found: the DBA had made a small schema change. Knowledge of the change didn't propagate to the dev team because the DBA sat on the extreme other side of the cube farm.
