“Just because architecture is supposed to be stable, it does not mean that it should never change.”
Gereon Hermkes, Scaling Done Right: How to Achieve Business Agility with Scrum@Scale and Make the Competition Irrelevant

Neal Ford
“Even if the ecosystem doesn’t change, what about the gradual erosion of architectural characteristics that occurs? Architects design architectures, but then expose them to the messy real world of implementing things atop the architecture. How can architects protect the important parts they have defined?”
Neal Ford, Building Evolutionary Architectures: Support Constant Change
