Bad architecture decisions are easy to spot in hindsight. Bloated systems, frustrated teams, and technical debt that keeps on growing. But why do these decisions happen in the first place?
In this talk, we explore common anti-patterns in architectural decision-making, such as Decision-by-Email, Hype-Driven Development, and Rage-Driven Decisions. Each is illustrated with real-world scenarios, symptoms that teams can recognize early, and approaches on how to prevent them.
Rather than focusing on blame, the session highlights practical strategies to prevent these patterns and build more intentional and methodological decision cultures. Ideal for architects, tech leads, and developers who want to improve their decision-making.
