Sam, a software developer with 30 years of experience spanning companies from startups to AWS, shares his approach to applying clean architecture principles with Python while maintaining the language's pragmatic nature.The conversation explores the balance between architectural rigor and practical development, the critical relationship between architecture and testability, and how clean architecture principles can enhance AI-assisted coding workflows. Sam emphasizes that clean architecture isn't an all-or-nothing approach but a set of principles that developers can adapt to their context, with the core value lying in thoughtful dependency management and clear domain modeling.RECOMMENDED BOOKSSam Keen • Clean Architecture with Python • https://amzn.to/4pBT5g0Fabrizio Romano & Heinrich Kruger • Learn Python Programming • https://amzn.to/4myLBItUncle Bob • Clean Code • https://amzn.to/3soPO6kUncle Bob • Clean Architecture • https://amzn.to/3x0gjBQEric Evans • Domain-Driven Design • https://amzn.to/3tnGhwmNaomi Ceder • The Quick Python Book • https://amzn.to/3zwdDOaLuciano Ramalho • Fluent Python • https://amzn.to/3oSw2jeDavid Beazley • Python Distilled (Developer's Library) • https://amzn.to/3QjNBEvSaleem Siddiqui • Learning Test-Driven Development • https://amzn.to/35OMb3nMaciej «MJ» Jedrzejewski • Master Software Architecture • https://leanpub.com/master-software-architectureBlueskyInstagramLinkedInFacebookCHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUSJoin this channel to get early access to videos & other perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/joinLooking for a unique learning experience?Attend the next GOTO conference near you!
