Interesting talk about the recurring problem of increasing complexity in software, different approaches to handling it and acknowledging decades of research on the subject.

You hit the nail on the head for the first parts of the video, as they cover how quickly code is forced to grow from what you describe. It’s some of the later parts and the highlighting of research that caught my attention (and may for you as well).
What’s great is it’s divided into chapters, and there’s a pinned comment with the chapter timestamps, to skip into what may be more salient parts to check out.
Also I guess today I’m in the mindset to teach myself some new things, so I’ve also copied them over here for convenience:
for anyone wondering
I copied and special pasted the pinned comment to LibreOffice Writer, saved it as an .odt, then used Pandoc to convert that to markdown for here. There’s probably a simpler method like a markdown editor that could do special paste into markdown formatting or something, but I didn’t feel like looking for it.
Thank you kind for putting the chapters here!
