Simple IT solutions can grow towards unmanageable systems. In the end even a small change involves business analysts, IT engineers and often a lot of managers to figure out if and how a change can be implemented with minimal risks and business impact. Calling buzzwords like devops, scrum, agile and lean do not bring a solution closer.

I am a fan of continuous learning. So if possible I go to meetups, conferences, seminars and open space meetings to listen and learn of peers in the digital space. So I went on an evening in September 2019 towards a talk regarding SOLID programming principles. From the very well organized meetup this evening by the company Working Spirit I left with some hard questions and some observations.
