Startup Software Architecture - You Never Really Throw It Away: A Conversation with David Gudeman

In this podcast Michael Stiefel spoke with David Gudeman about software architecture for startups. The discussion starts by illuminating how to make decisions with imperfect information, and how uncertainty and ambiguity flow through all aspects of developing the architecture. This leads to analyzing how the architect must focus on both product strategy and technical decisions, and how there must be a collaborative effort between the product and technical teams. David Gudeman then talks about how one never really throws away working software, and how to evolve your architecture as the startup grows. The podcast concludes with advice for somebody who is thinking about being a software architect in a startup. Read a transcript of this interview:
