According to Daniel, while the practice of software development has changed in the past 20 years, SOLID principles are still the basis of good design. A lot of software architecture makes me want to hit the liquids
I think the title has a premise I'm not convinced is actually true.

Has it ever been? 99% of the software I see is less architecture and more spontanoeus growth, like a shrubbery.

Large systems grow out of small ones, so the shrubbery aspect is almost a given. Trying to build a large system from scratch virtually guarantees failure, and a system that isn't growing usually doesn't have long to live. The problem is that a system's architecture often doesn't evolve with it, assuming that it had one in the first place.

Yep but it has to be a planned and structured growth, not cancer-like.
Ah yes, that escrescence there was made to support vendor XYZ, it's no longer necessary but it has been used as a base for that other escrescence for when we experimented with rubbing methylene on the code, now if we remove it it stops working.

In my opinion, overengineering has killed more products than the absence of good development practices. "I just want your extra time and your...Kiss"
|
|

The author mentions microservices as an example. I'd also nominate dependency injection. But during my career, I came across very few examples of overengineering. Maybe it's becoming a thing.
An article linked about five posts above is a review of one by another author, who defends the SOLID principles. Although they're excellent guidelines, following them indiscriminately would also lead to overengineering. Thankfully, that rarely seems to occur in practice!

After all e equals 3, which is the perfect number. Also pi equals 3, and gravitational acceleration is 10, which is 3 times 3.
Yes I am an engineer, why are you asking?
