Build Software Like a Bag of Marbles, Not a Castle of LEGO

Explore a conference talk that challenges conventional software architecture by proposing a "bag of marbles" approach instead of a tightly coupled "LEGO castle" structure. Learn how to create loosely coupled feature assemblies that can be easily added, removed, or replaced within your software projects. Discover techniques for implementing this flexible architecture in ASP.NET, Entity Framework, and database migrations while adhering to Onion Architecture principles. Gain insights into when and how to apply this approach to enhance modularity, maintainability, and deployment flexibility in your software development process.
