It's reverse because Conway's Law, as stated, says that code structure inadvertently arises from org structure, i.e. code = f(org). The reversal is to architect the org structure to ensure optimal code structure, i.e. org = f(code).

That is reverse, yes.

I think your original comment was unclear, if not misstated. I had read the "like" in "[a]rchitect your microservices like your org chart" as something like "to resemble", and the rest of the comment seems to follow just fine. Other readings seem possible but I don't see one that gives the sense you want without what feels like some serious contortion.

In any case, no worries, we're clearly on the same page now - just trying to figure out what went wrong.
