Sunny,

I am a big fan of Thomas Erl and his set of books. His book site is here: http://www.soabooks.com/. If you are interested in some further discussion about SOA Design Time Governance I'd be glad to be a part of it.

Hi Benneth, Thank you for this suggestion. I downloaded it and enjoyed the read. I especially like how they touch on the SOA Center of Excellence (CoE). I hope to make our Code Town SOA Governance group our own CoE! :-)

How to Shape the Engineering Culture in Software Companies

You can find your way through an organization by figuring out what artifacts people leave behind, David Grizzanti mentioned at InfoQ Dev Summit Boston. He compared culture to anthropology, suggested studying behaviors, power dynamics, and decisions first, and then patiently model and reward new norms, build allies, and use influence and leading by example, to shift engineering culture over time.

At QCon London 2026, Jeff Smith discussed the growing mismatch between AI coding models and real-world software development.
