What makes antifragile software unique?

3/3/2014

1 Comment

 
Antifragile software thrives on change and embraces uncertainty. It's unique in that it is the underpinning and valuable property shared amongst a number of movements in the architecture and design of software, all of which aim to be a the 'elephant in the standup', i.e. all the software you've written before that makes it hard to build the software the way you need it today.

Antifragility underpins, amongst other things:
  • Reactive Applications
  • Micro Services
  • Simplicity in Software

Valuing antifragility enough to work it into your design means your software, as well as you, can embrace change. Agile processes and ways of working have gone a long way towards helping humans and organisations embrace change (or not); antifragile software design and architecture helps your software keep up.

Without antifragility you end up fighting your code, expending huge amounts of effort just keeping the codebase moving forward at all; antifragile software is designed for the unexpected, in terms of change and runtime operation.


The first step to getting these gains is to understand and value antifragility.

For more information on Antifragility generally, the canonical book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb is the place to start.

For more on Antifragility in Software, that's what my book is all about and I expect to have a complete draft ready this week. If you can spare 3 days in London to learn about how to develop and evolve software faster than the competition, then my course at Skills Matter would be time well spent.

For help adopting antifragility in your own software, contact my team at Simplicity Itself.
