Trans vrouwen zijn geen bedreiging.
De echte dreiging is het feit dat mensen nog steeds zeggen dat geslacht volgens biologie binair is (spoiler biologie werkt niet met definities) om anderen te mogen uitsluiten in naam van de wetenschap ga u een eind schamen dames… (6/6)

Only 20 days left until @newcrafts.bsky.social. I will be talking about all things decision. :-D At the end of my talk you will understand a decision better, have some extra vocabulary to use and you know how I applied decision-making to software design. I hope to see you there! ncrafts.io

The way we think and the way we design our software systems isn't aligned. In order to make that alignment better, we need to understand our thinking, and the system we are in. In this episode, I spoke with @mentrix.bsky.social on decisions, belief systems versus truth, and non-linear thinking.

We often mock architects being in an ivory tower, making all the decisions, not listening to the developers, and not caring if they made the right architectural choices. What most of us failed to notice was that nobody was offering them a different process to make architectural decisions. [1/3]

Currently working on my new workshop called "Leadership in Software Design". The workshop is going to be great: we will talk about leadership and software design. Other topics we will touch are decisions, people and culture.

HowTo - Quick and easy decisions: a razor, e.g. occam's razor, are philosophical laws designed to help you “shave off” unlikely explanations or thinking patterns. So if you want to eliminate options, try applying the law’s that have the word razor in it.

What does it mean to be good at communicating? I have tried (and failed) to improve my communication in general because being to communicate your solutions is as important as the solutions. In this episode of Satisfying Software, I spoke with @tekiegirl.bsky.social on the communicating architecture.

Event-Driven systems come with challenges: How do we version our events? Can we only publish events in an Event-Driven Architecture? How do we test all of this? These are a few of the questions I discussed with @noctovis.bsky.social in our latest episode of Satisfying Software!

Software design is a discipline of uncertainty. We took principles and tools from disciplines of certainty into a discipline of uncertainty and we are surprised when hell breaks lose. On our 1ep of Satisfying Software, I spoke to Barry O’Reilly on finding a better way to architect software system.
