Conway's Law applies equally to AI collaboration: fuzzy codebase boundaries often reflect that team communication has not clearly delineated domains.
Conway's Law, proposed by Melvin Conway in 1968, states that a system's architecture will ultimately reflect the communication structure of the organization that designed it.
Conway's Law states that a system's architecture will ultimately mirror the communication structure of the organization that produces it, making microservices essentially a technical solution to an organizational scale problem.
