Conway's Law: "Organizations design systems that copy their communication structures."

- Small teams tend to monoliths
- Large orgs tend to microservices
- Competing departments tend to make redundant systems

Software architecture isn't just technical—it's social. The humans building it shape the system more than we admit.
