A Theory of Software Architecture

Nice and all, but It feels quite pompous to tout this as a grand unified theory of anything. This is a highly specific little corner of software architecture, and is neither grand, unified or even a theory.

I support this a bit, I would have different idols in mind, but I wont fault someone for theirs. Once something is learnt it really doesn't matter.

The pain is the title..

Yes, sure a little unfair and nitpicky, but still the title baited me to click and left me unimpressed. I wonder if my impression had been better if the content matched the expectations.

Frankly, if you really thought a single article could deliver a "grand unified theory" of anything, that's on you.

People pick catchy titles; it's a key part of getting noticed these days.

And we have a word for it, clickbait. It’s okay that it exists. It’s also ok for us to call it out when we see it.

I have a past as a physicist, so I am a little sensitive to that phrasing. Optimally a catching title matches relevant content - probably get lower bounce rate that way too...
