Thoughts on Conway's Law and the software stack

Read Original

The article analyzes Conway's Law in the context of the software stack, arguing that insufficient communication between layers (hardware, firmware, kernel, container runtimes) leads to security and design flaws. It cites examples like Spectre/Meltdown in hardware, proprietary firmware issues, and Kubernetes' unsuitability for multi-tenant security to illustrate the systemic risks of siloed development.
