SW Design, Architecture & Clarity at Scale • Sam Newman, Jacqui Read & Simon Rohrer

Experts Sam Newman, Jacqui Read, and Simon Rohrer explore the nuances of software design, its intersection with architecture, and the critical role of communication in scaling technical clarity. The discussion covers practical advice on implementing Architectural Decision Records (ADRs), the evolving role of the architect as a facilitator, and strategies for creating agile enterprise architectures.

Effect Oriented Programming • Bill Frasure, Bruce Eckel, James Ward & Andrew Harmel-Law

Authors Bill Frasure, Bruce Eckel, and James Ward discuss the core concepts of Effect-Oriented Programming, explaining how effects are composable operations that encapsulate side effects and defer execution. They highlight how effect systems use compiler-checked types to manage unpredictability, improve testability, and make functional programming concepts accessible without intimidating jargon.

Serverless Panel • N. Coult, R. Kohler, D. Anderson, J. Agarwal, A. Laxmi & J. Dongre

A panel of experts from AWS, G-P, and AntStack discuss the practical impact of Generative AI on software development. They explore how AI is used as an accelerant for productivity, the challenges of applying it to large-scale system design, its role in modernization, and the future implications for developer careers and safety-critical systems.

Architecture for Flow • Susanne Kaiser & James Lewis • GOTO 2026

Susanne Kaiser discusses her book "Architecture for Flow," which integrates Domain-Driven Design, Wardley Mapping, and Team Topologies into a holistic framework. She introduces the "Architecture for Flow Canvas," a practical tool for designing and evolving adaptive socio-technical systems by starting with the problem space and aligning software design with team organization and business strategy.

Effect Oriented Programming • Bill Frasure, Bruce Eckel, James Ward & Andrew Harmel-Law • GOTO 2026

Authors Bill Frasure, Bruce Eckel, and James Ward discuss the core concepts of Effect-Oriented Programming. They explain how effects are composable operations that encapsulate side effects and defer execution, allowing developers to manage unpredictability with compiler-checked types. The conversation covers ZIO, the expansion of effect systems into languages like TypeScript and Kotlin, and their unique, constraint-driven writing process.
