Why software engineers disagree about everything – talk by Haseeb Qureshi



Why are there are so many disagreements in software? Why don’t we all converge on the same beliefs or technologies? It might sound obvious that people shouldn’t agree, but Haseeb want to convince you it’s weird that we don’t. This talk is a philosophical exploration of how knowledge converges within subcultures, as Haseeb explore this question through the worlds of software, online fraud, and poker.

    Interesting ideas. Bravo!
    Just an opinion, I think the term "Dynamic" (as in constantly changing) suits reason #1 better instead of saying the terrain is "unstable".

    Logos means Word, not Etymology as you state in the first minute.
