History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme!\nIn addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest, Grady Booch.\nSome of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them (some LLM assistance):\nSAGE as foundational real-time distributed system\nSoftware crisis demand outpaced ability to build reliable systems\nMargaret Hamilton (SAGE → Apollo) and the term “software engineering”\nUML\nRational Software founded (1982); acquired by IBM (2003)\nOO overshot via inheritance; core idea (objects as cognitive units) endured\nLLMs are unreliable narrators - they cannot do abductive reasoning\nArchitecture = decisions with high cost of change\nCore skills persist: abstraction, coupling, cohesion, judgment\nFear cycles repeat; fundamentals endure\n\nGrady's Book Recommendations\nThe Sciences of the Artificial — Herbert Simon\nThe Mythical Man-Month — Fred Brooks\nRefactoring — Martin Fowler\nIf we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/cVYTzMGAZ_7gNn2i7iJYSuWlQOM4wHdJAzEuWrnLo9A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80OGI3/NjA5NWY4Yjc4NzE0/ZGI5ZmMzZmY4MjFi/YThiYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
