Understanding Complex Software Systems by Embracing Chaos
Modern software systems are complex and chaotic. Requirements, employee counts, and production environments change quickly. Yet the software produced under these circumstances must be understandable as well as useful. Matt Ranney, an architect at Uber, argues that to understand these complex systems you must embrace chaos, rather than run from it. You must also accept limits to our understanding.
