You can’t design great systems without designing how decisions are made
Most teams obsess over tools, pipelines, and governance. Few ever design the system that drives them: how decisions happen.
Architecture isn’t built in diagrams. It’s built in trade-offs, escalations, and meetings where “we’ll decide later” quietly becomes the default.
When decisions lack structure, systems drift. When decisions are owned, documented, and revisited intentionally, systems hold their shape.
Good architecture isn’t about control, it’s about clarity. It’s knowing who decides what, with which context, and when to stop debating.
Your code shows what you built. Your architecture shows how you decided.
What’s your decision-making architecture?
