Gregor Hohpe
“Evolving a widely reused resource also requires coordination because changes must be compatible with all existing systems or users. Such coordination can slow down innovation... Some digital companies have even begun to explicitly favor duplication because their business environment rewards economies of speed.”
Gregor Hohpe, The Software Architect Elevator: Redefining the Architect's Role in the Digital Enterprise

“[...] you shouldn't be uneasy about any parts of the architecture. It shouldn't
contain anything just to please the boss. It shouldn't contain anything that's hard for you
to understand. You're the one who'll implement it; if it doesn't make sense to you, how
can you implement it?”
Steve McConnell, Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction
