Mark McCaffery: I like to do keynotes in two forms. One is to inspire, the other is to incite. In my keynote at O'Reilly's Software Architecture Conference last February, almost a year ago, and that was February 2020. The crux of it really came from two laws of software architecture that both Neil Ford and I coined in our book, The Fundamentals of Software Architecture. It did create quite a lot of controversy on a lot of social media immediately after making that statement.
