Natural Design Forces
Kent discusses how conventional design metrics often ignore the underlying natural processes at play in software development. He emphasizes that averages in metrics like function size can be misleading, as they follow power law distributions that don't converge. This insight challenges the notion of strict design rules, highlighting the influence of natural forces on software architecture and the importance of understanding these dynamics for better design decisions.In this clip
