Gregory's ServerSoftware architecture hot tips:
- Good things are better than bad things, except when they're not
- Also nothing is good or bad
- It depends
- The answer to every question is "it depends", except for when it doesn't. It depends
- Name three things you like. You can't have them at the same time
- No.
- There are many definitions of software architecture, but none of them are correct
- There's no such thing as software architecture

@kenbot @jpm see also: design
@kenbot I agree. Mostly.
bad things are always bad. Good are sometimes bad.
@kenbot I make a point of never telling clients ”it depends”. It’s like handing over the responsibility of a hard decision to someone that doesn’t have a clue.
I usually outline the problem, the alternatives and hand them my recommendation. Then they go ahead doing the opposite because they have a gut feeling, but at least I’ve done my part. 😉
