Ask HN: CS papers for software architecture and design?
I used to be very interested in Software Architecture, in fact I&#x27;ve read many of the papers cited here.<p>When I did a startup many years ago, I committed the mistake of paying too much attention to the architecture of the software [1] I was writing, and not enough attention to the product&#x2F;customer side of it.<p>The last couple of years I&#x27;ve been de-emphasizing software architecture as an interest, and have been paying much more attention to how product teams build successful products, what the patterns are, etc. I was lucky enough to work at Facebook for a while and got to see (and learn) a very successful working model of product development.<p>So, while I&#x27;m not saying that software architecture is not important (it is), also pay attention to the product&#x2F;customer side: what choices (software, organizational, hiring, business) allow you to move fast and iterate, to release early and often, to run A&#x2F;B tests, etc.<p>I think good software engineers are just as much product guys (and data guys) as they are software guys.<p>-<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;scalien&#x2F;scaliendb" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;scalien&#x2F;scaliendb</a>
