Hi,

I really liked this talk. It's about that we have manifested so much complexity in our software world that it is a societal risk because only few people know how to handle/fix things that most software fully depends on.

Best, Moritz

Hi @dostuffthatmatters, thanks for your contribution!

I actually watched that talk a while back and had some qualms with it, but it seems to connect to a lot of people and I think the talk is well done, so I think we should add it :)

Hi @hellerve,

thank you for including it. I do not fully agree with him on some arguments and comparisons too. But I think the talk raises some interesting thoughts about system complexity and fragility.

Best, Moritz
