Software architecture, development and team organization and leadership¶

This site has two interwoven parts. The first is a reference glossary for software architecture, development, and team leadership: precise definitions, cross-linked terms, and methods for practitioners. The second is a personal Garden Atelier: notes on what I am learning, experiments I am running, and ideas I am crafting toward better software and better leadership.

The glossary shows what things are. The atelier shows what I am making of them.

Both grow over time and feed each other. Because the human nature and software development influence each other (see Conway's Law), the boundary between reference and reflection is intentionally blurred.
