In the modern age, architecture transcends any single toolset. It’s about designing relationships between parts and adapting as circumstances change. Join me at NDC London 2025 for “Architecture isn’t Kubernetes” delve into the sociotechnical skills we also need. bit.ly/40IuSuo

I just finished reading the first two books in Malka Ann Older’s “The Investigations of Mossa and Pleiti” series. I couldn’t wait for the third one to be published … so picked up her first (and perhaps best known) book.
Diana quoted A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers(Wayfarers, #2)
"Was she capable of that kind of flow? If she could disable her ability to track time, could she lose herself the way they did?"
— Becky Chambers: A Closed and Common Orbit, p. 61
Review of A Closed and Common Orbit
I fell in love with the characters in Becky Chambers' first book of the Wayward series. When I realized the second book didn't include (most of) them, I almost stopped reading.
Thank goodness I didn't. I fell in love with these characters too. Which made picking up the next book even easier.
Chambers writes intelligent, insightful stories that are so smooth, I flow through them like talking with a good friend.

I am the luckiest O'Reilly author. @teapot418, the talented artist and software professional, created a Sketchnote for each chapter of Learning Systems Thinking.
Lisa's work is magic. In a single artifact, she weaves concepts together to form meaning. Simultaneously, she makes us feel entertained.
I hope to see more of Lisa' work published. More importantly, I hope to see more Sketchnotes used to describe technology systems. Lisa can teach us how to make our work more impactful.

Diana finished reading The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers(Wayfarers, #1)
I have been on a Becky Chambers journey. I'm experiencing stress from deadlines, travels, etc ... not bad stress, but I do need a space to rest. Becky Chambers is my book friend, keeping me excellent company.
