Learn about encapsulation, aggressive thresholds, and referential transparency, with code examples in C# that are accessible to developers working in various languages. Gain insights into the challenges of software development, the importance of reducing time spent reading code, and strategies for creating self-similar code structures. Delve into topics such as the magical number, chunks, long-term and short-term memory, object activation, and pure functions. Conclude with a summary of fractal architecture concepts and a Q&A session.
