Sonya Natanzon & Vlad KhononovEvery software engineer and architect strives to design modular software systems and avoid complexity. Yet, frequently, the outcome is the opposite: what promised to be an elegant, well-thought architecture results in another big ball of mud. Why does this pattern persist and how do we learn not to repeat it?
In this talk, we will explore the nature of modularity and complexity, including their surprising similarities. You will learn what forces drive software design towards modularity or complexity, and the effects these forces have on your organizational design. Understanding the relationship between social and technical design principles will make you more effective in architecting systems that thrive over time.
