Robert C. Martin
“I'm a programmer. I like programming. And the best way I've found to have a positive impact on code is to write it.”
Robert C. Martin, Clean Architecture

“If the application is event-driven, it can be decoupled into multiple self-contained components. This helps us become more scalable, because we can always add new components or remove old ones without stopping or breaking the system. If errors and failures are passed to the right component, which can handle them as notifications, the application can become more fault-tolerant or resilient. So if we build our system to be event-driven, we can more easily achieve scalability and failure tolerance, and a scalable, decoupled, and error-proof application is fast and responsive to users.”
Nickolay Tsvetinov, Learning Reactive Programming with Java 8
