Balancing Coupling in Software Design: Universal Design Principles for Architecting Modular Software Systems

If you want to build modular, evolvable, and resilient software systems, you have to get coupling right. Every design decision you make influences coupling, which in turn shapes the design options available to you. Despite its importance, coupling often doesn't receive the attention it deserves—until now.

Since the dawn of software engineering, it's been clear that proper management of coupling is essen...
