Andres de Lago | Arquitectura de Software

While I was reading this chapter, I found that I already knew or at least had heard of most of the concepts that the author goes through, but I hadn’t seen them all in one single place. I liked that about it, the way it explains software architecture in a practical or at least concise. Having said that, I would expect this book’s target audience to be people that don’t have as much formal education on software engineering as we (all CS students at Tec de Monterrey) do. The reason for that judgement is that it doesn’t go into much detail and just breezes through a bunch of concepts and definitions sort of like it was a reference manual that you could open when you forgot something simple but doesn’t add much to our pretty comprehensive software engineering classes. I mean, we don’t take three or more semesters worth of software engineering subjects to not know this kind of stuff. Maybe it’s an introductory chapter and the author will go into detail later but as it stan

To me the thing that stands out the most about this video is how software development was so new people, even knowledgeable engineers, underestimated its complexity and importance to the point that it became a deciding factor on wether the whole project, that was expanding the limits of many different fields, would be finished on time or not. Now, I'm not saying that in the present we don't have such problems, I actually find it funny how we keep struggling with the same problems they did fifty or sixty years ago. To me that means one of two things: either we haven't learned that much from our past as an industry/field or the reality is that software development is an exceptionally complicated field even amongst extremely complicated fields like rocket science. If I had to guess I'd say it's a bit of both, we probably haven't learned enough and our field is just really complicated, maybe it is complicated in ways that other fields aren't and that's why

Who am I? I'm an ISC student in 8th semester. I don't really know what to expect from this class, apart from the obvious "to learn something interesting". My hobbies include: snowboarding, competitive programming, gaming, and most contact sports. Some of the movies/series that I've enjoyed recently are: Bandershnatch (Black Mirror) and Suits.
