Why Your Software Isn't Soft (And What You Can Do About It)

One of the big benefits of software over hardware is that it’s supposed to be easy to change. But in today’s world, most companies have accidentally built large, monolithic software applications that have become harder than most hardware. They’re rigid and brittle. They take increasingly specialized knowledge, or an exponential amount of human-power to maintain, and it’s slowly killing company’s ability to operate with agility.
Today, we take a look at why your software isn’t soft, explore the challenges of writing code at scale, and discuss a modern approach to writing code that will maintain its safety and simplicity over time.
