Modularity for introverts and extroverts ...or what it means that large things are an accumulation of small things...21st October 2017, Based on Keynote for Reactive Summit 2017
This is an essay about how we draw boundaries around things, and what that means to us. It sounds like a trivial thing, but its quite the opposite. It's a subject that never ends in computer science. It extends from how we write code to how we run code, and how we apply code, how we make systems, how we view their results, on and on. Obviously it spans both Dev and Ops, the builders, the machines -- and even the users (heaven help us). And a key point is going to be how we distinguish things we draw boundaries around, which is where promise theory comes in.
