    Structure - Conway's Mirror: Why Your Org Chart Shapes Your Technology
    Apr 1 2026
    Ryan Cole examines Conway's Law and how organizational structure determines software architecture. Through case studies of Spotify's squad model, AWS's two-pizza teams, GE Digital's federated approach, and NASA's systems engineering, he reveals why your org chart might be your biggest architectural bottleneck and why redesigning teams could solve your technical problems.

  • Structure - Scale or Fail: The Engineering Principles That Let Systems Grow to Millions

    Structure - Scale or Fail: The Engineering Principles That Let Systems Grow to Millions
    Apr 1 2026
    Ryan Cole breaks down the engineering principles that let systems scale from ten users to ten million without collapsing. From Netflix's architecture overhaul to NASA's decomposition strategies, he explores horizontal scaling, statelessness, caching, sharding, and why managing dependencies—not chasing perfection—is the key to building resilient systems that survive real-world chaos.
