The word .net, stylised to look like a section of the iconic London Underground map.

Right at the end of the podcast today, @surlydev.bsky.social mentioned they liked how the @ldnug.org logo was based on the London Underground. Which made me go YAY! because I designed it and I love it, and it's nice when people notice stuff. 🤠

Kit-Kat bars flying through space, demonstrating how to design software to facilitate later decomposition.

The KitKat Pattern is the best description of modular monoliths I’ve ever seen. This is brilliant.

Layla Porter presenting a slide showing… lines and rectangles. Like all software architecture diagrams.

Next up tonight it’s @laylacodesit.bsky.social talking about how to build distribution-ready systems using the modular monolith pattern - and how to avoid ending up with the dreaded distributed monolith.

Actually, the coolest thing about #LDNUG being on Bluesky is that, after 22 years, we *finally* have a website. Or rather, a domain name, 'cos websites are hard, yo... but because of Bluesky's domain verification handle thing, Dylan decided that ldnug.org had a nice ring to it... and so here we are.

Hey! We're on Bluesky! Isn't this neat?
