A funny thing happened on the way to writing our book Architecture as Code—the entire industry shifted. Generally, we write books iteratively—starting with a seed of an idea, then developing it through workshops, conference presentations, online classes, and so on. That’s exactly what we did about a year ago with our Architecture as Code book. […]
