Design is a Process, not an Artefact - Trisha Gee (MongoDB)

The document outlines the perspective that design is a process rather than a static document, emphasizing the importance of managing software systems through iterative practices and addressing common issues like bugs, feature requests, and inconsistent coding styles. It discusses best practices such as using static analysis, maintaining backward compatibility, and employing testing as essential components of the design process. The author encourages teamwork, continuous communication, and learning from mistakes to achieve a cleaner and more intuitive software architecture.
