This post is the first of a series of posts about Software Architecture. In them, I write about what I’ve learned about Software Architecture, how I think of it, and how I use that knowledge.

I am calling these series of posts “The Software Architecture Chronicles”, not because I think of myself as a great writer but because I find the name rather corny in a funny way!😀

I find it important to learn from history, it can teach us a lot. At a personal level, we (eventually & hopefully) learn from our personal mistakes. As a country, history helps model our culture, helps create an idea of a group, an idea of ’us’, a national identity. It also helps us learn from our ancestor mistakes, like trusting people with very weird ideas, think WW2 …

For us, as developers, it helps us build on our predecessor developers knowledge. It helps us learn from their mistakes, from their paths, from their experiences: their knowledge. It helps us achieve higher grounds by “standing on the shoulders of giants“!
