What can routers at Centre Pompidou teach us about software evolution?
Read OriginalThe author draws a parallel between the visible, ad-hoc placement of Wi-Fi routers on the exposed infrastructure of the Centre Pompidou building and the evolution of software systems. It discusses how initial architectural designs, like the building's color-coded structure, often fail to accommodate future needs, leading to pragmatic but messy additions. The piece reflects on whether software refactoring truly integrates new requirements elegantly or merely attaches them to existing components.
