In this conversation with Barry O'Reilly, author of "Residues" and "The Architect's Paradox" we explore the philosophy and empirical evidence supporting this new approach to designing software.

Barry is an experienced architect, working as a consultant for large enterprises as well as at Microsoft. In 2020 he decided to embark on a PhD course in Complexity Science and Software Design. The idea was to stress-test the ideas behind Residulity Theory and have an academic grounding in his claims to support teams dealing with complex systems.
