The answer to this question seems quite straightforward until we really start to think about it. My talk is inspired by a concept of Fred Brooks' 1986 paper "No Silver Bullet": the difference between essential and accidental complexity of software, only the first of which is an inherent and unremovable part of it. I want to investigate if such an "essence" of software really exists, and what follows if we take this view seriously.
I studied at the 42 Vienna coding school, which is in Heiligenstadt, and work at RBI, which is also there. I am also doing MA in Philosophy at University of Szeged (Hungary).
