Episode 89: The new-new architecture Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

Chris skipped his normal pre-podcast prep and is trying to make up for it. Amos wants to know more about what Chris does to prep; a topic which is interesting to literally no one. Quotes are missatributed as the hosts turn to the main topic of the week: What makes for good design.

Chris claims to have a specific design sense but has no idea if its a good sense or not. Both he and Amos agree that consistency is important and that software developers should always be working to making the design of a system a little bit better. But, that work also seems hard and its way more fun to play around with Istio or whatever.
