An Idea For Software's Industrial Revolution

Posted by Soulskill on from the in-addition-to-exploiting-the-workers dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Tech company Code Valley makes the bold claim that a software industrial revolution may be imminent (PDF). They propose shifting developers from the coding domain (current software development practice) to a "design-domain," where the emphasis is no longer on writing code, but on decentralized design – code becomes simply a by-product of this collaboration. In this design-domain, software programs are designed (and built) by a peer-to-peer supply chain of software vendors, each owned and managed by a software engineer. They envisage a global supply-chain of these software experts capable of reliably delivering immensely complex software.

    The code will just write itself!

      I hear that if you say "peer-to-peer design-domain decentralized design" into a mirror three times, an actual coder will appear and write all your software.

      No, the 'actual coder' will come up behind you with a baseball bat and rearrange your cranium.

    Great. More industrial hardware issues. What code was it running, and have you considered decentralizing the peer-to-peer supply chain of software vendors to build a distributed fix?

    Better give these peers some work to do, right now, resetting connections is the only thing they seem to do.
