How about citing the paper from which those fallacies are sourced in the video description?
I am not sure there is a single paper they all are described in. There are plenty of materials on them in the form of blog posts though where I sourced the items and short brief; the mitigation tactics are mostly from my own experience
@@architectureweekly Ah, I am sorry, you are correct. For some reason, I thought there is an article or a paper with the ideas somewhere, but I tried looking for the original source and couldn't find it. There only seem to be articles commenting on or elaborating on the original ideas: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacies_of_distributed_computing
Great stuff Greg! Good seeing you again :)

@@architectureweekly Hello, I had a question - if you have the time to answer. Is it worth it to become a subject matter expert in distributed computing and cloud ? I am a dev with < 1 year of experience. Any answer will be appreciated !
@@MeherShrishtiNigam Hey! Studying distributed systems with consensus protocols, replication schemes and formal verifications is indeed a great pursue. Cloud technologies at the same time is a foundation of modern computing. So go ahead! However I think that less than 1 year of experience can introduce a challenge for distributed systems let's say, so I would recommend to spend another year or two solidifying your programming and product skills and getting let's say aws certificates and then proceed with TLA+, raft/paxos and other cool stuff
@@architectureweekly Thanks a lot, I appreciate it a lot
Cool and useful content! Where can I get same T-shirt 😄?

I'll Explain it To You P1G. In a SQL Relational Database: Data that is Infrequently Accessed is Normalised (Relational: SQL) AND Data that is Frequently Accessed is De-Normalised (Hierarchical: MongoDB or Mainframe Database). This Reduces the Size of Database Files. Processing Smaller Database Files is Faster.
You're a storyteller. keep update this playlist bro
3:10 The diagrams shown are from the C4 model, created by Simon Brown, which is not *just* diagrams, but allows to save them as part of the source code. Really neat.
Well, I thought it's not the diagrams themselves, but that you can use uml and markdown to describe it and then tools exist to visualise them like plantuml and mermaid
Isn't it an ADR in a nutshell?
Yeah, it resembles the ADR a lot. But both are essentially explaining why something is built and what,and what were the options
When are you continuing this? Excellent!!
Let's always do alot of good 🔥
Привет из Эстонии! Клевые видео, продолжай в том же духе!
Suur aitäh!
Good stuff here
Aitäh, Vladimir Oleks huvitav teada näidet selle kohta, mida olete produktiivsuse tõstmiseks teinud
Tere-tere! For different team we made several improvements for example: 1. Introduced the definition of Read so that we don't come back to figuring our the requirements 2. Forced the work breakdown for the user stories so that we ship faster 3. Required the PoC for the new integration so that we know what we are dealing with before actually implementing the stories and many more!
Thanks, Vladimir! very useful report. my applause!
Glad you liked it!
love it, your comments are on point! Especially in the context of saving the planet from a climate heating crisis you don't want your computer to generate/waste more heat than it's required.
thank you! Yeah, not contributing to environment problems is a plus
Very intresting video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for great content
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you for the discussion - it's always nice to hear Vitaly
thanks for the talk. Baruch, since you're a devrel now in Gradle, can you ask the team to create a bunch of demo repos in github with _fully_ working examples (which are kept up to date with the latest Gradle release) that demonstrate different gradle features (+best practices)? current documentation of Gradle is a bunch of separate example lines. Gradle = hard to do a simple thing, not a single complete example, no walk-throughs... though tool is quite powerful.
absolutely, I second it.
Thanks for the feedback, M! We are now looking for a developer advocate for the build tool, and all this will be very high priority on their plate!
What a useless content
Why useless?
Thank you for this interview. It was extremely helpful
Our pleasure!
I hope Vlad is joking on not enjoying writing books, because his books are great and are enjoyed by many enthousiastic readers. Looking very much forward to 'Balancing Coupling in Software Design'! Keep on writing Vlad!
Thanks for the newsletter! Keep up the awesome work 🎉
No, it never DIE! DER! DAS!
В Gradle добавили конфиг кэш, что думаете, пробовали ли??
Собственно, добавили во многом после того как эту тему и поднял через статью и разговоры с ними :) Отличная штука, надо чтобы мейнтейнеры плагинов поддержали. Как и изолированную и параллельную конфигурацию позже.
Waiting for the promised links :)

МДА, лучше на русском языке ведите свои выпуски. Потренироваться в английском можно для себя, не выкладывая это на широкую аудиторию
Спасибо за фидбек. А что именно не так с английским?
@@architectureweekly хороший английский, но русский акцент слышен… почему бы на русском не вести выпуски? Русскоязычная аудитория очень большая. А в англоязычном сегменте нейтив спикеров и так выше крыши
@@architectureweekly без обид. Успехов в начинаниях в любом случае ! 💪
@@maxbelov_ английский - универсальный язык IT индустрии, поэтому на нем. Спикеров действительно много, но новостных выпусков по архитектуре буквально пару штук.
@@architectureweekly Владимир, спасибо за труд! Думаю, что для тех, кто пришел получить знания по архитектуре, качество материала гораздо важнее акцента.
Thanks. It could help a bit you could improve sound quality in your videos (at least raise its volume a bit)
Great job!
Thank you!

@@architectureweekly Thank you!
Great content, Vladimir! Very useful overview
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Vladimir, can you, plz, make a favour to upload your talk with the voice track of your guests. Thx in advance!
We will make another recording soon)
Sorry, there were some issues with camera/audio in the beginning. WIll fix in the next video!
Nice! I can suggest a couple improvements though!)) I suggest to decrease background music and actually use something without crashes - they distract a bit. Put 2 seconds of louder music between every section) Next, maybe put titles of articles somewhere on top and really visible. And maybe put interactive links to things like "what is a gateway" since some things that you are describing verbally might be interesting to deep dive if one is not familiar. I will leave a couple ideas for future))
Thank you very much, appreciate it. I will incorporate your feedback in the next issue!
Цікаво, дякую!
Thanks for the video
Cool thanks
