In a modern software architecture, a lot of the work will be performed by services that access other services, and each service needs its own identity and its own set of privileges. Similarly, Tim Hope said that open source is critical in building an engineering culture and developing systems. That’s an important statement.

What I’m really doing is changing the engineering culture at OpenSesame. Culture doesn’t change easily. I’m hoping this will help direct people to new behaviors, which will in turn start to change the engineering culture. Bigger than a breadbox, anyway. It tends to snap back. This makes room for a lot more skills.

A great example of this is the overuse of micro-service architecture. I myself fell into this exact trap when I created a micro-service architecture. As seen over the years , people, transparency, and technological choices are overlooked in favour of what is currently trending or easy. From my experience it does not. Single Purpose.

Another hurdle to decision making is when technology leaders feel that the skills needed to deliver big changes don’t exist within the organization like the lack of DDD, architecture, or cloud skills. Choosing where to focus is a balancing act: delivering new products, fixing legacy software, and improving engineering culture.
