Throughout the episode, Eva tells us some amazing and insightful stories about her experience with this subject.
In this episode, our host, Eduardo Guerra, talks with Peter Sommerlad, one of the authors of the book Pattern-oriented Software Architecture, also known as POSA. Celebrating 30 years of its publication, our guest talked about how the book was written and the interaction with the Gang of Four (GoF) authors. He also tells wonderful stories about how the patterns changed his life, in a conversation that passes through reflections about what is good software design and the impact of new technologies on software development.
In this episode, our host Eduardo Guerra talks with Daniel Lübke, one of the authors of the book Patterns for API Design. In this discussion, they will talk about how the patterns in the book were written and organized. The conversation starts in the core decisions that influence the API design and finishes in the strategies that can be imemented to evolve an API, with many other interesting topics and insights in the middle.
In this episode, our host Eduardo Guerra talks with Maurício Aniche about strategies and patterns for scaling tests. In this conversation, Maurício tell real stories about his rich experience with tests in large-scale systems, sharing some valuable lessons learned.
The C programming language has been consistently one of the most used languages in the world. However, how many programmers can actually use it well? In this episode, our host, Eduardo Guerra, had a conversation with Christopher Preschern, the author of the book Fluent C, about patterns that can be used to write great software in this programming language. We talk about error handling, memory management, API design, and several interesting patterns that might also be useful in other contexts.
The dark patterns are back, and this time, we are going to talk about the ones that haunt digital games. Our host, Eduardo Guerra, had a conversation with Emerson Veiga that made a study about how these dark patterns affect gamers.

In this insightful discussion, several interesting questions regarding patterns identification and applicability are raised and discussed. Linda shares some important lessons learned in the long “patterns road” that she walked in the last years.
In this episode, our host Eduardo Guerra talks with Rebecca Wirfs-Brock about patterns for Agile software architecture design. They talk about the challenges in evolving the architecture in an agile environment and some practices that can be used to prepare the team to make the decisions in the last responsible moments.
Do you know what dark patterns are? Different from anti-patterns that document recurrent mistakes and bad practices, dark patterns can actually solve the problem, but using an unethical solution. In this episode, our host, Eduardo Guerra, speaks with Cesare Pautasso about dark software engineering patterns that, unfortunately, are recognizable in several applications that we have contact with daily. Yes, we need to talk about that!
In this episode, the patterns are at the center of the conversation that our host, Eduardo Guerra, had with our guest, Allan Kelly. They will talk about how we can observe the patterns around us and document them to communicate that practical knowledge to others. We also discuss the main elements that a pattern has and how to give the first steps in writing your first patterns. I am sure this conversation will make you feel like starting to work on your next submission to a pattern conference!
