Conway’s law, as misused as CAP

You know how the CAP theorem is frequently misunderstood and abused to justify any random design space decision in distributed systems? Of course you do, there is so much written about it. Well there is another, much easier to understand, much weaker but equally abused “result” [1], Conway’s law.

Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the

(defn checkout-deps-paths [project]
(apply concat (for [dep (.listFiles (file (:root project) "checkouts"))
;; Note that this resets the leiningen.core/project var!
:let [proj (read-dependency-project dep)]
:when proj]
(for [d (:checkout-deps-shares project [:source-path :compile-path :resources-path])]
(ensure-absolute (d proj) dep))))))

Jorge Luis Borges on novice writers (or programmers?)
Look, I mean to say this: When I began writing, I thought that
everything should be defined by the writer. For example, to say
“the moon” was strictly forbidden; that one had to find an
adjective, an epithet for the moon. (Of course, I'm simplifying
things. I know it because many times I have written “la luna,”
but this is a kind of symbol of what I was doing.) Well, I
thought everything had to be defined and that no common turns
of phrase should be used. I would never have said, “So-and-so
came in and sat down,” because that was far too simple and far
too easy. I thought I had to find out some fancy way of saying
(def file-path "words.txt")
