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!

The solution to our puzzle about Euler’s number explains why e pops up in situations that involve optimality. eeeeeee!

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?

Let’s take a look at some of the new language features. In case you missed the other "new stuff" articles
Yeah, not news-news, but news-ish. And stuff I'm thankful for.

With Visual Studio 2022 when you create a new console project based on .NET 6, the Hello World source code generated is now a simple one-line program Whoa - slow down. I can only type that example code so fast

Pffft! They missed a trick - add a global static using[^] for System.Console - which can be defined in the project file[^], so no "code" involved - and the code becomes:
WriteLine("Is this modern enough yet?");

The new group will coordinate efforts across branches in an effort to figure out what, exactly, is flying around up there. The truth might be out there, because it probably isn't in there

Is that an implied confirmation that we are not alone? 
Or just another excuse to waste a big amount of $$$ just because?

publicity stunts... some people are pretty sure those occasional visual artifacts on fighter jet's cameras are UFO and some politician too and want "deeper investigation".
Well, that's my take on it!
