The Financial Architecture of Software with Ian Miell
Briefly

Organizations' software architectures are fundamentally influenced by their communication structures, as highlighted by Conway's Law. However, this analysis can be extended by examining financial flows within those organizations.

This perspective challenges the notion that communication paths alone dictate software structure. Analyzing financial elements provides a deeper insight into the socio-technical factors affecting software development and organizational efficiency.
