Summary
For decades, software engineering has "dreamed an impossible dream", to build software as easily as building Lego houses. In this talk, James Noble imagines a world where the dream has been realized, where software parts can be found in worldwide repositories, where most software is built by reusing existing software, and where we've finally been freed from the mundane necessity of programming.
Bio
James Noble is Professor of CS and SE at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His research centers around software design and is colored by longstanding interest in OO approaches to design, aliasing and object ownership, design patterns, agile methodology, via usability, visualization and computer music, to postmodernism and the semiotics of programming.
About the conference
QCon is a conference that is organized by the community, for the community.The result is a high quality conference experience where a tremendous amount of attention and investment has gone into having the best content on the most important topics presented by the leaders in our community.QCon is designed with the technical depth and enterprise focus of interest to technical team leads, architects, and project managers.

I see nothing new. The only difference between today's Lego 'parts' and those of the future described, is that today they are much smaller - typically statements in some programming language at the lowest level of abstraction, or invocations of some framework function at a slightly higher level of abstraction. We will always be faced with the task of finding the appropriate parts and connecting them...

That's because we are actually giving the finishing touches on a paradigm-shifting development methodology that resembles the Lego Hypothesis. And its basic building block is called an atom, just like in Noble's presentation.
The Lego Hypothesis will be proven right, but probably sooner than James Noble expects. Fingers crossed! -
While there are forking and duplicate projects, a typical Linux distro today is built together with large collection of softwares and libraries that has been picked and hacked together to become a working OS. So I guess this is also one example of Lego building blocks.
