In most important systems, it is the result of continuous adaptation under real pressures: new requirements, operational constraints, accumulated decisions, and the constant need to remain useful in a changing environment.</p> <p>That is why <strong>Meir Lehman’s (1980)</strong> article remains so valuable to me. It does not treat software as a static artifact, but as something shaped by ongoing evolution. And for that reason, I believe it deserves to be much better known by those who work in the day-to-day practice of IT.</p>
