Deprecating Simplicity 3.0

Explore the tension between feature velocity and system complexity in software engineering through this 47-minute conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2019. Delve into how organizations optimize for performance, availability, fault tolerance, and feature velocity simultaneously. Examine the concept of essential versus accidental complexity and learn why businesses often prioritize feature velocity over simplification. Discover how Chaos Engineering emerged as a solution to manage increasing complexity while maintaining rapid feature development. Gain insights into architectural decision-making and mental models that can help navigate the trade-offs between simplicity and functionality in modern software systems.
