"Does Software Understand Complexity?" via Michael Feathers

Read Original

Author Michael Feathers reflects on attending a complex systems conference and notes the software industry's lack of applied research on complexity. He argues that software developers struggle with managing creeping complexity and could benefit from interdisciplinary knowledge and research-based approaches, as illustrated by a common, painful scenario of debugging after changes in legacy code.
