“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.
