Software developers have long believed that the more control, the better the final product. The author refutes this belief and goes on to demonstrate to software developers how to lessen their dependence on rigid controls and restrictive logic and, instead, embrace the principles of chaos to solve the problem of creating real applications in an unstructured, imperfect world. Olson illustrates his unique approach by introducing three contrasting scenarios: one organization with fully controlled maintenance; one with fully controlled development; and a third based on chaotic organization. Within these examples, Olson probes the importance of fractal concepts in programming environments and explores the gaps between ideas and implementation, disclosing new ways for bridging them.
