Codentropy

The concept and the term of “Entropy” were invent in 1864 by Rudolf Clausius, the father of the classic thermodynamics, a branch of the physics that studies the transformations between different energy kinds.

The origin of this noun has to do with the etymology of the Greek word for “divergence”, “strong change” of “energy”.

From a sure point of view, entropy is the measure of a system natural tendency to shift itself to a configuration with greater disorder.

It’s the formal definition of an outstanding observation: all in nature, included things human artifacts, leads toward annihilation, disappearing in the greyest flatness or in a mere, pure chaos.

The software development isn’t immune to this fundamental law, whose implications have sometimes lifting fades and shadows, and more often have a concrete, brutal impact.

This web site is profoundly dedicated to the continuous struggle of seeking new ways to recognize, define and contrast this overwhelming principle, that governs the two main forces in software development: complexity and change.
