Explore a groundbreaking structural pattern for creating more legible and modular software in this 28-minute conference presentation from Onward! 2025. Learn how current software illegibility—the lack of direct correspondence between code and observed behavior—undermines three critical requirements of robust coding: incrementality, integrity, and transparency. Discover how the proposed pattern addresses these challenges through concepts and synchronizations, featuring fully independent services mediated by event-based rules. Examine how a domain-specific language for synchronizations enables granular, declarative expression of behavioral features that can be readily generated by large language models. Analyze the practical application of this approach through a detailed case study of the RealWorld benchmark, demonstrating improved software modularity and maintainability. Gain insights into how this structural pattern can enhance software development practices in the era of LLM-assisted coding, making codebases more transparent, modular, and easier to understand and modify.
