Hi Lin Pengcheng,

First of all, thank you so much for being able to articulate such a correct theory on how build and architect software. It has been a long time coming, and I'm glad someone finally put it all to paper.

Now, I have a question regarding the application of the warehouse/workshop-relationship in the context of a larger system. Specifically, I would like your input on the feasibility of nesting a warehouse/workshop inside of another part of the system, presumably a workshop.

For example, when making food, the supermarket is a warehouse that supplies local households with dry and wet goods. However, in the individual kitchen, could one not also consider the pantry a kind of local warehouse that serves the other ketchen functions? For while the supermarket is the higher level, indeed the super, supplier of perishables, is it perhaps not more pragmatic/simpler to consider the pantry a local workshop in the task of designing an optimal kitchen in accordance to The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow?

I hope my question and metaphor makes sense, I'm sure you can see how this applies to software development and local/modular integration designs.

Respectfully,

I agree with this 100% and it is incredibly inspiring. You have summarized pretty much all my thoughts about how software should be architected.
