  1. Conway's law

    Conway's law describes the link between communication structure of organizations to the systems they design. It is named after the computer programmer Melvin Conway, who introduced the idea in 1967. His original wording was: [O]rganizations which design systems are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations. The law is based on the reasoning that in order for a product to function, the authors and designers of its component parts must communicate with each other in order to ensure compatibility between the components. Therefore, the technical structure of a system will reflect the social boundaries of the organizations that produced it, across which communication is more difficult. In colloquial terms, it means complex products end up "shaped like" the organizational structure they are designed in or designed for. Wikipedia

    In "The Only Unbreakable Law," Casey Muratori discusses a concept that has long been crucial in but is not limited to the software development industry: Conway's Law.

  6. The summary is extrapolating Conway's Law (the design of the system is a copy of the communication structure of the organization that produces it) over the passage of time. So it's not only the current communication structure, but the super position of all communication structures as time has passed.

    Oh come on! What pompous arrogant posturing! Almost anyone can come up with an unbreakable encryption. With very little experience in either making or breaking codes, I did it with only 30 seconds of casual thought. Take a reasonable message (50 words or more) and replace each word with the number 0. Voila! An encryption that can never be broken.
