Some time ago I posted in a summary of this technique, and over the weekend I
ran across this much longer and more comprehensive write-up on Martin Fowler’s (the

Concepts like this is far more important than knowing about the newest uber-widget
or latest architecture buzzword. When SOA is a dim memory techniques like Assertions
and Fail-Fast will still be keeping code stable.
