Anarchy: A Solution to Software Development Organizations? with Andrew Harmel-Law

“Patterns of Anarchy” is a collection of writings published in
1966. Andrew came to it because a) Christopher Alexander quotes
from it in “A Pattern Language” and b) because as a consultant
and developer they are interested in different patterns of
organizing.


What interested them most about this book was the section
“Constructive Anarchism: Alternative Communities and Programs”.
This covers the how of anarchist organization.


They will share some of the most interesting insights from their
perspective as a student of socio-technical organization design.
Sometimes they’ll add some commentary. And of course the question
is how it relates to software engineering.
