Overview
Explore six impossible things that shape software development limits in this thought-provoking keynote. Delve into integer representation, task estimation, distributed systems uncertainty, and computability boundaries. Gain insights on working within constraints to create effective solutions. Learn about algorithmic comfort zones, the halting problem, and technical debt. Discover how understanding these limitations can improve prioritization, engagement, and future-proofing in software development.
