I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention. I have used this metaphor of code as a living entity before and it resonates with those that have lived through such growth. The article beautifully articulates this idea. I think this idea extends to ideas or memes in the https://edge.org/conversation/richard_dawkins-this-is-my-vis... dawkins view of battling evolving concepts. The code swarm is a visualization of a one such concept. I think in the enterprise world I see this lots with business process but there is no concept of even writing the business process down let alone visualizing the process over time and the idea of culturing a business process is not even on the radar.

Crazy thoughts for today.
