Skipped a week, sorry non-Dutch friends! But this week's newsletter is translated again! www.felienne.nl/2026-14/#eng...
(Including a translation of my opening remarks in The Dutch Parliament this week on AI in schools)
J'ai eu la même réflexion. Je me suis ensuite empressé de regarder la page wikipédia de la famille, d'apprécier le prénom de ses parents mais encore plus la modification de la page de janvier dernier :)
Thanks @touraine.tech for inviting us (@nick-tune.me and I) for this year's edition. We had a lot of fun presenting our journey at @payfiteng.bsky.social.
If you missed it, you can watch the recording and also read a great thread by @horgix.fr 🧵 bsky.app/profile/horg...
If you're not here at @touraine.tech and attending @nick-tune.me and @maxsc.bsky.social talk about aligning on ubiquitous language and breakthrough, make sure to catch the recording afterward!
Will share a few notes here - with an obvious bias and preexisting knowledge on the matter.
For this @touraine.tech 2026 edition, PayFiters are presenting as many as 3 talks!
Today:
- @horgix.fr & Maxime Guillet at 15:45 about AWS costs reduction
Tomorrow:
- @horgix.fr at 12:10 about Diátaxis for doc
- @nick-tune.me & @maxsc.bsky.social at 13:30 about aligning on ubiquitous language

⛔ LAST DAY! Regular Tier pricing vanishes TOMORROW (October 15th). Stop thinking, start clicking. Your future self will thank you.

🚨 1 week warning! Regular Tier pricing ends October 15th. The question isn't whether you'll attend NewCrafts - it's whether you'll pay regular or premium prices.

As a tech lead or senior developer, you’re expected to mentor and train more junior teammembers - coaching is already part of your job. Technical coaching is a skill that can be learnt. Emily Bache will hold a masterclass at NewCrafts conference: buff.ly/NV0Z5Ei
New week. New month. NewCrafts!
I'm speaking at @newcrafts.bsky.social in Paris in November: ncrafts.io
I'm also running a preconference Code Simplification Masterclass.
Get yourself a space on my workshop by 22nd September: ddd.academy/keeping-it-s...
💡 Architecture logicielle : comment passer de la théorie à la pratique ? Notre formation synthétise années d'expertise et retours terrain clients. Au programme : concepts DDD, patterns clés, migration legacy et enjeux humains. Une approche complète et pragmatique ! #SoftwareArchitecture #DDD
Les heuristiques de design vous aident à concevoir une architecture faiblement couplée. Dans cette formation, découvrez comment utiliser les heuristiques comme un outil qui vous guidera pour identifier vos Bounded Context. buff.ly/AQZpnn7
Why attend?
• Learn to navigate novel architectural problems where no 'best practices' exist
• Understand critical tradeoffs in complex scenarios
• Develop skills to make informed decisions in unique organisational contexts

‘Future-proofing' often leads to unnecessary complexity. Learn how to work confidently with incomplete knowledge in our hands-on workshop on code simplification. Join us for group exercises, discussions, and practical insights that will transform your approach to software design: buff.ly/zZrRG4b
⏰ Today is the last day of our early bird sales for the workshops. Kickstart your conference experience with our pre-event workshops: buff.ly/JIpDBXQ
🎤 Maxime Sanglan-Charlier et Nick Tune seront sur scène à Agile Pays Basque 2025 !
🗣️ Talk : "Définir le langage commun de votre domaine métier"
👉 La billetterie : www.helloasso.com/associations...
👉 La liste des intervenant·e·s sélectionné·e·s : agile-paysbasque.fr/orateurs/
So, imagine this: one complex design problem, four different collaborative modeling tools, four facilitators, and 45 minutes to solve it with a group of 8! That was the intense setup Krisztina, @maxsc.bsky.social, @hschwentner.bsky.social, and I ran at the DDD Europe hands-on labs.
Thanks, it was cool to have you in the group! We did great job :)
By the end of the session, you will have the knowledge needed to identify the critical elements to focus on during the design process of your event-driven architecture.
👉 Reserve your seat: ncrafts.io
"Anarchy" sounds like the last thing you need in your software teams, but might it actually have some lessons to teach us? This session will hopefully open your mind, give you something to think about, and maybe even some ideas to try out.
👉 Join the conference: ncrafts.io
Y'a un truc les 06 & 07 novembre si ça peut attendre jusque là :)

Something special is happening in two weeks at @dddeu.bsky.social. We're running a hands-on session where we'll tackle one problem using four distinct collaborative modelling tools: Domain Storytelling, EventStorming, Wardley Mapping, and Domain Message Flow Modelling.
Join the NewCrafts community and build lasting relationships with 400+ talented engineers who prioritise software craftsmanship. Showcase your commitment to quality while connecting with potential clients, partners, or recruits. View our sponsorship opportunities:

Thanks a lot @abeba.bsky.social ! Indeed we would be so pleased to have you again this year. Could you follow me back so we can continue in DMs? Thanks!

@nick-tune.me on stage!
Because Legacy Modernization is not a one-shot powerpoint presentation.
Framing modernization : short vs long term benefits
Align on trade offs : is not long vs short but many different options in the possible trade offs
Fear and hope : show what you would like to see as results and what you fear will happen in inaction
Ongoing vigilance : fighting every day to put pressure towards modernization
To fight against the gravity of anti-modernization @nick-tune.me proposes an anti-FAFO framework :
Framing
Aligning
Fear & Hope
Ongoing struggle
[editor’s note : by an extreme coincidence that happens to be a very common approach to fighting for social change !]

True. If it's just bake, then I kinda agree :)
It would certainly ruin my Flemish Stew family recipe
