Ask HN: Any advice on how to learn good software architecture practices?

5•jimsojim•43m ago
As someone who picked up coding around the time AI and agents started becoming more mainstream, I realize I don’t have much knowledge about the best way to architect applications, and I often end up going with whatever the agent recommends. I wanted to check with the community: do you have any recommendations on what I should be doing to get better at overall architecture planning?

I do ask AI a lot of questions, but it would be good to have a non-AI frame of reference that I can rely on. I find that having a structured starting point really helps me challenge and evaluate some of the outputs.

These are available to read completely free online, but I do plan to purchase the physical books some day.

[edit] I realize that I should probably give more context to my answer. The books on the site are basically interviews with the authors of the software and they discuss what choices they made as well as the advantages/tradeoffs of this approach. In other words, the direct answer to your question is to learn by reading what other people have written about their own successes and glean from that.

[edit 2] Your favorite LLM could also provide a list of books that are similar in spirit, but there's just something about the series that I linked to that I like.

I have been programming long before LLMs, and it was painfully slow, but the lessons stayed with me for a long time, and after some time I was able to spot architectural problems before they became problems, because I suffered many times before.

When I'm building with AI now, it's much faster, yeah, but it's extremely difficult to learn these patterns, so I feel like slowing down the pace when working with LLMs (although very difficult), and researching things properly will allow you to develop these muscles, and bring benefits in the long run.
