Stratified Design over Layered Design

A interesting article that presents a very functional approach to design without mentioning functional programming.

I've been trying to get more people adopt this approach ever since watching this talk by Gary Bernhardt a while ago. [1]

I'm also watching the development of this book in progress, Grokking Simplicity [2], which tries to present just enough functional thinking to be useful, without being dogmatic.

I can't help but wonder why these approaches aren't more popular, because they seem to make so much sense to me.

Thank you for posting. I've been thinking about this lately and had trouble articulating it. I knew that there had to be some established thinking out there around this approach to design, and now I've found it!
