Watch a thought-provoking 48-minute conference talk exploring six fundamental impossibilities in software development, from integer representation limitations to task estimation challenges. Delve into the philosophical and practical boundaries that shape software development, guided by Kevlin Henney's expertise at QCon Plus. Learn how understanding computational limits, distributed systems uncertainties, and the CAP theorem can lead to better solution design. Examine technical concepts including incompleteness theorems, data consistency challenges, and technical debt while discovering how to work effectively within these constraints. Drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, gain practical insights into creating solutions rather than problems by acknowledging and adapting to the inherent limitations in software development.
