Five years later, Balanced Coupling is back on @infoq.com , now in podcast form. I had a great conversation with @thomasbetts.bsky.social about modularity and complexity — two topics that are, well… coupled by coupling 🙂

Check it out here 👉 www.infoq.com/podcasts/bal...
Balancing Coupling in Software Design with Vlad Khononov
In this episode, Thomas Betts speaks with Vlad Khononov about balancing coupling in software design, the subject of his recent book. They discuss how coupling is necessary for a system to function, but has to be balanced to allow the system to evolve. Vlad identifies three factors that can be used to measure coupling: knowledge sharing, distance, and volatility.

"Architects need to separate the AI hype from real software that we can actually implement."

It’s a powerful and insightful statement, and I couldn't agree more! Maybe I would add that this applies to every software engineer, not just architects.

Great article @thomasbetts.bsky.social!
