**How I learned to develop software like a bureaucrat**
Presenter: Alex Bunardzic
Software systems often break easily because of dependencies. Parts of the system rely on other parts, which also rely on other parts, and so on. These dependencies make the system tightly coupled and fragile. When we need to change something, the system cracks and breaks. How can we deal with this common problem? We have tried many ways, but entropy always wins, and we hope for the best while expecting the worst. I think the best way to reduce this accidental complexity is to learn from how large organizations run complex systems. They use a system we call bureaucracy. Bureaucracies may not be very efficient or effective, but they work without collapsing. They do better than many/most software systems in production today. This talk will show how to change the software development process to make the system less fragile, more resilient, more ready for future changes.
