Hello Increment readers,

Welcome to our first issue of 2020. As we start the new year—the new decade, even!—we’re thinking a lot about how to build things from the ground up, how to rejigger other things to suit new circumstances, how to learn from the past, and how to plan for the future.

An issue on software architecture seems only fitting to kick things off.

In these pages we explore architecture as a journey, something as dynamic as the needs our software serves and as intriguing as the people who use it. Whether you’re rearchitecting after an acquisition, trying to break free from a haunted forest of bad code and broken systems, or wondering how someone else accomplished what your team is setting out to do, I hope these perspectives help you architect a successful, resilient tomorrow.

Happy reading,

Sid Orlando
Editor in Chief
