Don't fear - we will continue to provide the same great variety of face-to-face and online networking opportunities, but our operating costs are a tenth of what they were, without the concern that our membership list could be used to hold us to ransom to benefit a private conglomerate.
Meetup error: Group not found - Sorry, the group you're looking for doesn't exist.
10 years ago, Kacper Gunia did a fantastic thing. He created DDD London; a meetup for software professionals to learn about a set of rapidly-developing techniques that improve software quality. 10 years on and the group is still going strong, but we have moved.
Goodbye meetup, hello dddlondon.com

Ever wondered how quality attributes can improve your software? π Or even what quality attributes are? π€ I've added a new article to the #KnowledgeVault to answer these questions and more.

Yep. Hello regulation, goodbye autonomy.
Please no. The enterprise information architecture community use that word but it comes from an origin where they try and get to base objects and a global model. It's the opposite of DDD where instead of encapsulating complexity you're spreading it unnecessarily.
As usual you're not only well-read but well-written on these topics too π
Can't you get DP1 inside DP2?
To me this doesn't seem black and white. Eventually you end up with something like modern matrix management where its hierarchical but people are may be in more than one function and could be in more than one team, both functional and technical decomposition in play.
@barryosull.bsky.social Thanks for sharing. The diagram for DP2 is awful! I dint feel I understand any better for looking at it.
@trond.hjorteland.com Is this analogous to hierarchical vs graph org structures? It reads as if DP2 is actually referring to a decomposition strategy as well.

It's the first #DDD London event of 2025! I will be hosting Sonya Natanzon & @vladikk.bsky.social for Complexity & Modularity

Although in this case DDD doesn't stand for #domaindrivendesign I m hopeful that we can get some of the community together at some point during the event. Get in touch if you would be interested in saying hi and talking about systems and #softwaredesign.
Today is the last day of CFPs for @dddsouthwest.bsky.social's 20th anniversary conference. It is a free #softwaredevelopment conference and a great reason to visit Bristol UK this April.

Did somebody turn on the light? Meetings across team borders can only be described as an illuminating experience.

This was a great chat with Gregor Hope about communicating #softwareArchitecture, #softwareDesign, and #softwareDevelopment ππ»π§π
That's ok - I don't think we had interacted before!
I will miss AMA too unfortunately. I'll be there in spirit though!
Thanks for sharing π We are planning to create some die-cut stickers hopefully - will try and get one to you at @amaconf.bsky.social via Jacqui π€
"You donβt need a cutting-edge system to deliver most software requirements"
Think about this the next time some shiny, new, complex framework/tool comes around. I love working with "boring" technology for this reason.

#YesDesign
As you might expect, @tekiegirl.bsky.social (co-trouble-maker at The Ministry of Software Design jacquiread.com) will also be supporting. We Look forward to continuing business as usual and hopefully bringing some new formats to our London community. π
I am therefore thrilled to get the opportunity to contribute to the community in such an important way, and hope that we can both increase expertise and broaden adoption through our events.
I have always been impressed with the DDD community's focus on people and practice, not technologies and products. Creating great software doesn't start in your database or cloud provider, it starts with understanding your users and business objectives.
