The document discusses entropy in thermodynamics, software development, and corporations. It states that the first law of thermodynamics describes the conservation of energy, the second law describes how entropy increases over time as organization decreases, and the third law describes how crystalline structures approach zero entropy at absolute zero temperature. It then draws parallels between these thermodynamic concepts of entropy and the increasing disorder and laziness that can occur in software development processes and corporate environments over time if not appropriately managed through practices like agility, software crafting, and constant evolution.
Developer entropy
- 3. Entropy Time
- 4. The First Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the Law of the Conservation of Energy, says that energy cannot be created or destroyed Thermodynamics The Second Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Increased Entropy, says that over time the state of disorganization or entropy in a system will always increase Sadi Carnot The Third Law of Thermodynamics says that a perfect crystalline structure at absolute zero temperatures will have zero disorder or entropy
- 7. Laziness Producing energy is hard. Laziness is about trying to avoid hard stuff.
- 8. Work Working hard is not the opposite of laziness.
- 9. Developer Entropy As time goes, fighting software entropy is harder. Why should I wrote this test? We need to fight our Laziness
- 10. Software crafting Crafting software is a constant fight against software entropy which is a constant fight against developper laziness
- 11. Corporate Entropy As time goes, fighting corporate entropy is harder. How can I control people? We need to fight our Laziness
- 12. Agility Agility is a constant fight against corporate entropy which is a constant fight against managers laziness
- 13. Evolution
- 14. Evolution
- 15. Conclusion (happy end) Agility and software crafting are 2 sides of the same coin
- 16. Conclusion (alternative end) Dont stop the fight, or the evolution will end.
