43 - Architecture and philosophy with Barry O'Reilly

For this episode, Robert Folkesson invited Barry O'Reilly, the author of the books ‘Residues: Time, Change, and Uncertainty in Software Architecture’ and ‘The Architect’s Paradox - Uncertainty and the Philosophy of Software Architecture’, to talk about why architecture fails and why it sometimes succeeds, the role of software architects, how philosophy connects to architecture, how humans haven’t changed much in 2000 years, the acceleration of complexity in society in general, and what role AI will play in architecture – among other topics. We really enjoyed having this conversation and hope you will find it interesting too! Links The Architect’s Paradox: https://leanpub.com/architectsparadox
