Chapter 3: The Two Laws of Software Architecture

Mark Richards, Neal Ford, Raju Gandhi Season 1 Episode 3

Chapter Three of Head First Software Architecture covers our Two Laws of software architecture: 
1) Everything in software architecture is a trade-off
2) Understanding why is more important than understanding how

In this episode, we discuss the origin of these two laws, why we consider them universal, and the (sometimes deep) implications of them for architects making trade-off decisions.
