What is complexity really? Is software even complex? Is there a better way to use the ideas from the complexity sciences in the development of software? Does it even help to describe software engineering as complex? Do we need more management trends in software?
Complexity has been a buzzword in software development for almost 10 years - what are the effects of this? Do we even understand as a industry what the lessons of complexity science
are for software? Are we even ready for this conversation? This talk will ask some difficult questions and try to show that we have barely scratched the surface of what complexity can do for software.
