Structure Shapes Success: Conway's Law, AI Teams & Hexagonal Architecture
Conway's Law states that system design mirrors team communication structure. Using the hexagon as a metaphor from nature (beehives) to software (hexagonal/ports-and-adapters architecture), the post argues that intentional team organization is critical to product quality. Examples include Tesla vs. GM and AWS microservices. The post also introduces JigJoy, a platform for building modular AI agent teams structured similarly to hexagonal architecture principles.
