   2 corrections applied: The co-author of Fundamentals of Software Architecture is Neal Ford, not Neal Fowler (the reference list cites Ford correctly). | Yegge's 'Platforms Rant' was an accidentally public 2011 Google+ post, not a 2006 API Evangelist blog post.

   Before

   Research by Mark Richards and Neal Fowler, published in Fundamentals of Software Architecture... described in a 2006 API Evangelist blog post by Steve Yegge (originally an internal Google memo).

   After

   Research by Mark Richards and Neal Ford, published in Fundamentals of Software Architecture... described in a 2011 public Google+ post by Steve Yegge (an accidentally public post written while he worked at Google).

   Why: Verified live: both corrections are already present in body text (Neal Ford co-author credit, and the 2011 accidentally-public Google+ post description for Yegge's Platforms Rant). Other 'Fowler' mentions in the article correctly refer to the unrelated real person Martin Fowler. FAQ field checked (decoded via base64/json/base64/json) - no mention of Fowler, Yegge, 2006, or 'API Evangelist' in any FAQ entry. No action required this pass; confirming the existing correct state.
