Inside this work
Simplexity distilled decades of distributed-systems experience into principles for keeping architectures evolvable as they scale: why complexity accumulates, and the discipline it takes to keep it from winning.
I shaped the theme and the story arc, built the run of show, and worked with speakers, demo teams and production through months of drafts and rehearsals to the final performance.
